And they took Jesus away to the Chief Priest, and all the chief priests, and elders and scholars met together. 

And Peter followed him from a distance right into the courtyard of the Chief Priest and he sat with the guards, and they were warming themselves from the fire. 

The Chief Priests and all the Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, and they did not find anything.  For many people bore false witness against him, and the testimonies were not in agreement. And certain people having stood up bore false witness against him saying ‘We heard him saying that “I will tear down this sanctuary made by human hands and I will build another not built by human hands within three days.”’

And yet their testimony was not in agreement.

And the Chief Priest having stood up in the middle, asked Jesus: ‘You are answering nothing, are you? What are these people testifying about you?’

But he was silent and did not answer at all. 

Again the Chief Priest asked him: ‘Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?’

But Jesus said: ‘ I am, 

And you will see the Son of Man, 

Seated at the right hand of the Power, 

and coming with the clouds of heaven.’

The Chief Priest, having torn his clothes, said: ‘Why do we still need witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy.  What is your decision?’

All of them condemned him as deserving death. 

And some of them began
to spit on him,
and blindfold him
and punch him
and say to him : ‘Prophesy!’,
and the soldiers took him and  beat him.

God be in head and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes and in my looking;
God be in my mouth and in my speaking;
God be in my heart and in my thinking;
God be at my end and at my departing.
