And they led away Jesus unto the High-priest; and all the High-priests and the Elders and the Scribes gather together.

And, Peter, afar of, followed him, as far as within, into the court of the High-priest; and was sitting with the attendants, and warming himself by the light.

Now, the High-priest, and all the High-council, were seeking, against Jesus, testimony, with the intent to put him to death, - and were not finding any;

for, many, were bearing false-witness against him, and the testimonies were not, agreed.

And some, standing up, were bearing false-witness against him, saying -

We, heard him saying, I, will pull down this shrine, the one made by hand, and, in three days, another, not made by hand, will I raise.

And, not even so, was the testimony, agreed.

And, the High-priest rising up into the midst, questioned Jesus, saying - Answerest thou, nothing? What are these, against thee, witnessing?

But, he, was silent, and answered, nothing. Again, the High-priest was questioning him, and saith unto him - Art, thou, the Christ the Son of the Blessed?

And Jesus said - I, am; and ye shall see the Son of Man - sitting, on the right hand, of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

And, the High-priest, having rent asunder his inner-garments, saith - What, further, need have we, of witnesses?

Heard ye the profanity? What, to you, doth it appear? And they, all, condemned him to be, worthy, of, death.

And some began to be spitting at him, and, covering up his face, and to be buffeting him, and saying to him - Prophesy! And, the attendants, with smart blows, took him.
