55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they couldn’t find any.
56 Many brought false testimony against him, but they contradicted each other.
57 Some stood to offer false witness against him, saying,
58 "We heard him saying, ‘I will destroy this temple, constructed by humans, and within three days I will build another, one not made by humans.’"
59 But their testimonies didn’t agree even on this point.
60 Then the high priest stood up in the middle of the gathering and examined Jesus. "Aren’t you going to respond to the testimony these people have brought against you?"
61 But Jesus was silent and didn’t answer. Again, the high priest asked, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the blessed one?"
