The Scriptures 1998

Matthew 26:57-63 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

57. And those who had seized יהושע led Him away to Qayapha the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

58. But Kĕpha followed Him at a distance to the courtyard of the high priest, and he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.

59. And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the council were seeking false witness against יהושע to put Him to death,

60. but found none. Although many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,

61. and said, “This one said, ‘I am able to destroy the Dwelling Place of Elohim and to build it in three days.’ ”

62. And the high priest stood up and said to Him, “Have You no answer to make? What do these witness against You?”

63. But יהושע remained silent. So the high priest said to Him, “I put You to oath, by the living Elohim that You say to us if You are the Messiah, the Son of Elohim.”
