Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin

66 When daybreak came, the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Jesus [fn]up to their Sanhedrin and said, 67 “If yoʋ are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will surely not believe. 68 And if I ask you a question, you will surely not answer [fn]me or release me. 69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” 70 So they all said, “Are yoʋ then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You yourselves say that I am.” 71 Then they said, “What further need do we have of testimony? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.”
