Jesus Before the Leaders

⁶⁶ When day came, the council of the elders of the people, both the ·leading [^Tchief] priests and the ·teachers of the law [scribes], came together and led Jesus to ·their highest court [the high council/Sanhedrin]. ⁶⁷ They said, “If you are the ·Christ [Messiah], tell us.”

Jesus said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe me. ⁶⁸ And if I ask you, you will not answer. ⁶⁹ But from now on, the Son of Man will sit at the right hand of the powerful God [Ps. 110:1].”

⁷⁰ They all said, “Then are you the Son of God?”

Jesus said to them, “You say that I am [^Can indirect affirmation].”

⁷¹ They said, “Why do we need ·witnesses [testimony] now? [^LFor] We ·ourselves heard him say this [^Lheard it from his mouth].”
