Jesus before the Sanhedrin

(Matthew 26:57–68; Mark 14:53–65; John 18:19–24)

66 At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, [both the] chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin[fn] [and] said, 67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.”

[Jesus] answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe. 68 And if I ask [you] a question, you will not answer Me nor release Me.[fn] 69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at [the] right hand of the power of God.”[fn]

70 So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?”

He replied, “You say that I am.”

71 “Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard [it] for ourselves from His own lips.”
