Mark 14:55-60

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵⁵ The chief priests and the whole Jewish council were searching for some testimony against Jesus in order to execute him. But they couldn’t find any. ⁵⁶ Many gave false testimony against him, but their statements did not agree.

⁵⁷ Then some men stood up and gave false testimony against him. They said, ⁵⁸ “We heard him say, ‘I’ll tear down this temple made by humans, and in three days I’ll build another temple, one not made by human hands.’ ” ⁵⁹ But their testimony did not agree even on this point.

⁶⁰ So the chief priest stood up in the center and asked Jesus, “Don’t you have any answer to what these men testify against you?”
