Contextual Overview

53 They led Yeshua away to the Kohen Gadol. All the chief Kohanim, the Zakenim, and the Sofrim came together with him. 54 Kefa had followed him afar off, until he came into the court of the Kohen Gadol. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire. 55 Now the chief Kohanim and the whole council sought witnesses against Yeshua to put him to death, and found none. 56 For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn't agree with each other. 57 Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying, 58 "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'" 59 Even so, their testimony did not agree. 60 The Kohen Gadol stood up in the midst, and asked Yeshua, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?" 61 But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the Kohen Gadol asked him, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed?" 62 Yeshua said, "I AM. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But, neither so did their witness agree together. Their witness did agree together, for they both witnessed the same thing; but not so as to found upon it the charge of a capital crime against him; their witness was not so, ιση, "equal", was not answerable to their desires, nor sufficient to convict him of a capital crime, for which they could condemn him to death, as before observed on

Mark 14:56.
