12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For (A)false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.

59 Now the chief priests, [a]the elders, and all the council sought (A)false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, 60 [b]but found none. Even though (B)many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last (C)two [c]false witnesses came forward 61 and said, “This fellow said, (D)‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’ ”

62 (E)And the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” 63 But (F)Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, (G)“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, (H)hereafter you will see the Son of Man (I)sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65 (J)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 (K)blasphemy! 66 What do you think?”

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