La passion
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
Jesus is brought before the high priest and the entire Council. False witnesses accuse him, including claiming he said he would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, but their testimonies do not agree. When the high priest asks if he is the Messiah, Jesus confirms it and speaks of the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power. He is found guilty of blasphemy and sentenced to death; then he is spat on, beaten, and mocked Markus 14:53-14:65.
Marc 14,53-65
53They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes assembled.
Καὶ ἀπήγαγον τὸν Ἰησοῦν πρὸς τὸν ἀρχιερέα, καὶ ⸀συνέρχονται πάντες οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς.
54Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards, warming himself at the fire.
καὶ ὁ Πέτρος ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ ἕως ἔσω εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως καὶ ἦν συγκαθήμενος μετὰ τῶν ὑπηρετῶν καὶ θερμαινόμενος πρὸς τὸ φῶς.
55The chief priests and the whole council were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they found none.
οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ ὅλον τὸ συνέδριον ἐζήτουν κατὰ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ μαρτυρίαν εἰς τὸ θανατῶσαι αὐτόν, καὶ οὐχ ηὕρισκον·
56Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.
πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐψευδομαρτύρουν κατʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἴσαι αἱ μαρτυρίαι οὐκ ἦσαν.
57Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him:
καί τινες ἀναστάντες ἐψευδομαρτύρουν κατʼ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες
58"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with human hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.'"
ὅτι Ἡμεῖς ἠκούσαμεν αὐτοῦ λέγοντος ὅτι Ἐγὼ καταλύσω τὸν ναὸν τοῦτον τὸν χειροποίητον καὶ διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν ἄλλον ἀχειροποίητον οἰκοδομήσω·
59Yet even then their testimony did not agree.
καὶ οὐδὲ οὕτως ἴση ἦν ἡ μαρτυρία αὐτῶν.
60Then the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus: "Have you no answer? What is this testimony these men bring against you?"
καὶ ἀναστὰς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἰς μέσον ἐπηρώτησεν τὸν Ἰησοῦν λέγων· Οὐκ ἀποκρίνῃ οὐδέν; τί οὗτοί σου καταμαρτυροῦσιν;
61But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest questioned him: "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"
ὁ δὲ ἐσιώπα καὶ ⸂οὐκ ἀπεκρίνατο οὐδέν⸃. πάλιν ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς ἐπηρώτα αὐτὸν καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ εὐλογητοῦ;
62"I am," said Jesus, "and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven."
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· Ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ὄψεσθε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκ δεξιῶν καθήμενον τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ ἐρχόμενον μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
63At this the high priest tore his garments and said, "Why do we need any more witnesses?
ὁ δὲ ἀρχιερεὺς διαρρήξας τοὺς χιτῶνας αὐτοῦ λέγει· Τί ἔτι χρείαν ἔχομεν μαρτύρων;
64You have heard the blasphemy. What is your judgment?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.
ἠκούσατε τῆς βλασφημίας· τί ὑμῖν φαίνεται; οἱ δὲ πάντες κατέκριναν αὐτὸν ⸂ἔνοχον εἶναι⸃ θανάτου.
65Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, "Prophesy!" And the guards beat him.
καὶ ἤρξαντό τινες ἐμπτύειν αὐτῷ καὶ περικαλύπτειν ⸂αὐτοῦ τὸ πρόσωπον⸃ καὶ κολαφίζειν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγειν αὐτῷ· Προφήτευσον, καὶ οἱ ὑπηρέται ῥαπίσμασιν αὐτὸν ⸀ἔλαβον.
