| Mt Jesus before the Sanhedrin. 26:57 Those who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 26:58 Peter was following him at a distance as far as the high priest's courtyard, and going inside he sat down with the servants to see the outcome. 26:59 The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, 26:60 but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward 26:61 who stated, "This man said, 'I can destroy the temple of God and within three days rebuild it.'" 26:62 The high priest rose and addressed him, "Have you no answer? What are these men testifying against you?" 26:63 But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him, "I order you to tell us under oath before the living God whether you are the Messiah, the Son of God." 26:64 Jesus said to him in reply, "You have said so. But I tell you: From now on you will see 'the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power' and 'coming on the clouds of heaven.'" 26:65 Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need have we of witnesses? You have now heard the blasphemy; 26:66 what is your opinion?" They said in reply, "He deserves to die!" 26:67 Then they spat in his face and struck him, while some slapped him, 26:68 saying, "Prophesy for us, Messiah: who is it that struck you?" |
Mk Jesus before the Sanhedrin. 14:53 They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together. 14:54 Peter followed him at a distance into the high priest's courtyard and was seated with the guards, warming himself at the fire. 14:55 The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they found none. 14:56 Many gave false witness against him, but their testimony did not agree. 14:57 Some took the stand and testified falsely against him, alleging, 14:58 "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands and within three days I will build another not made with hands.'" 14:59 Even so their testimony did not agree. 14:60 The high priest rose before the assembly and questioned Jesus, saying, "Have you no answer? What are these men testifying against you?" 14:61 But he was silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, "Are you the Messiah, the son of the Blessed One?" 14:62 Then Jesus answered, "I am; and 'you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.'" 14:63 At that the high priest tore his garments and said, "What further need have we of witnesses? 14:64 You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him as deserving to die. 14:65 Some began to spit on him. They blindfolded him and struck him and said to him, "Prophesy!" And the guards greeted him with blows. |

Jn 18:12 So the band of soldiers, the tribune, and the Jewish guards seized Jesus, bound him, 18:13 and brought him to Annas first. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 18:14 It was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews that it was better that one man should die rather than the people. Peter's First Denial. 18:15 Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Now the other disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus. 18:16 But Peter stood at the gate outside. So the other disciple, the acquaintance of the high priest, went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought Peter in. 18:17 Then the maid who was the gatekeeper said to Peter, "You are not one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not." 18:18 Now the slaves and the guards were standing around a charcoal fire that they had made, because it was cold, and were warming themselves. Peter was also standing there keeping warm. The Inquiry before Annas. 18:19 The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his doctrine. 18:20 Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue or in the temple area where all the Jews gather, and in secret I have said nothing. 18:21 Why ask me? Ask those who heard me what I said to them. They know what I said." 18:22 When he had said this, one of the temple guards standing there struck Jesus and said, "Is this the way you answer the high priest?" 18:23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?" 18:24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. |
