⁶⁰ And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.

⁶¹ But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.

⁶² And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you?

⁶³ But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁵ Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:

⁶⁶ What is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death.

⁶⁷ Then they put shame on him, and were cruel to him: and some gave him blows, saying,

⁶⁸ Be a prophet, O Christ, and say who gave you a blow!
