him, saying,
[14:58]We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands,
and in three days will build another made without hands. [14:59]And
neither in this did their testimony agree. [14:60]And the chief priest
standing up in the midst asked Jesus, saying, Do you not answer any
thing to what these testify against you? [14:61]And he was silent, and
answered nothing.

2 Again the chief priest asked him, and said to him, Are you the
Christ, the Son of the Blessed? [14:62]And Jesus said, I am; and you
shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power, and
coming with the clouds of heaven. [14:63]And the high priest rent his
clothes, and said, What further need have we of witnesses? [14:64]You
have heard the blasphemy; what do you think? And they all condemned him
to be deserving of death. [14:65]And some spit on him; and they
blindfolded him, and beat him with the fist, and said to him, Prophesy.

them, for you are also a Galilean. [14:71]And he cursed and swore, I
know not this man of whom you speak. [14:72]And a cock crew a second
time. And Peter was reminded of the word, how Jesus said to him, Before
a cock crows twice, you will deny me thrice. And he wept bitterly.

4 [15:1]And immediately in the morning, the chief priests taking
counsel with the elders, and scribes, and all the Sanhedrim, bound
Jesus, and brought and delivered him to Pilate. [15:2]And Pilate asked
him, Are you the king of the Jews? And Jesus answered and said to him,
As you say. [15:3]And the chief priests accused him of many things.
[15:4]And Pilate again asked him saying, Do you answer nothing? see how
