⁶³ But ^(A)Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, ^(B)“I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”

⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, ^(C)hereafter you will see the Son of Man ^(D)sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

^65 (E)Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His ^(F)blasphemy! ⁶⁶ What do you think?”

They answered and said, ^(G)“He is deserving of death.”

⁶¹ But ^(A)He kept silent and answered nothing.

^(B)Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

⁶² Jesus said, “I am. ^(C)And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

⁶³ Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?

^67 (A)“If You are the Christ, tell us.”

But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will ^(B)by no means believe. ⁶⁸ And if I ^[a]also ask you, you will by no means answer ^[b]Me or let Me go. ^69 (C)Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.”

⁷⁰ Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?”

So He said to them, ^(D)“You rightly say that I am.”

^71 (E)And they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.”

Jesus Questioned by the High Priest

¹⁹ The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, ^(A)“I spoke openly to the world. I always taught ^(B)in synagogues and ^(C)in the temple, where ^[a]the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing. ²¹ Why do you ask Me? Ask ^(D)those who have heard Me what I said to them. Indeed they know what I said.”
