New Living Translation

Matthew 26:57-61 New Living Translation (NLT)

57. Then the people who had arrested Jesus led him to the home of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of religious law and the elders had gathered.

58. Meanwhile, Peter followed him at a distance and came to the high priest’s courtyard. He went in and sat with the guards and waited to see how it would all end.

59. Inside, the leading priests and the entire high council were trying to find witnesses who would lie about Jesus, so they could put him to death.

60. But even though they found many who agreed to give false witness, they could not use anyone’s testimony. Finally, two men came forward

61. who declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
