Now the chief priests and the whole council were looking for false testimony against Jesus so that they might put him to death, but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward.
At last two came forward and said, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’”

The high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer? What is it that they testify against you?”
But Jesus was silent.

Then the high priest said to him, “I put you under oath before the living God, tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? You have now heard his blasphemy. What is your verdict?”

They answered, “He deserves death.”

MEDITATION PROMPT

From a window in this huge hall of stone, I see the man in front of a robed crowd who shout and point at him.

He seems so alone and quiet; powerless, even.

What could he have done--why doesn't he defend himself?
