Matthew 26:58-68 Darby English Bible (DARBY)

58 And Peter followed him at a distance, even to the palace of the high priest, and entering in sat with the officers to see the end.

59 And the chief priests and the elders and the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.

60 And they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. But at the last two false witnesses came forward

61 and said, *He* said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and in three days build it.

62 And the high priest standing up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee?

63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us if *thou* art the Christ the Son of God.

64 Jesus says to him, *Thou* hast said. Moreover, I say to you, From henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has blasphemed: what need have we any more of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy.

66 What think ye? And they answering said, He is liable to the penalty of death.

67 Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and some struck him with the palms of their hand,

68 saying, Prophesy to us, Christ, Who is it who struck thee?
