14:53 他們把耶穌帶到大祭司那裡，又有眾祭司長和長老並文士都來和大祭司一同聚集。
14:54 彼得遠遠地跟著耶穌，一直進入大祭司的院裡，和差役一同坐在火光裡烤火。
14:55 祭司長和全公會尋找見證控告耶穌，要治死他，卻尋不著。
14:56 因為有好些人作假見證告他，只是他們的見證各不相合。
14:57 又有幾個人站起來作假見證告他，說：
14:58 「我們聽見他說：『我要拆毀這人手所造的殿，三日內就另造一座不是人手所造的。』」
14:59 他們就是這麼作見證，也是各不相合。
14:60 大祭司起來站在中間，問耶穌說：「你甚麼都不回答嗎？這些人作見證告你的是甚麼呢？」
14:61 耶穌卻不言語，一句也不回答。大祭司又問他說：「你是那當稱頌者的兒子基督不是？」
14:62 耶穌說：「我是。你們必看見人子坐在那權能者的右邊，駕著天上的雲降臨。」
14:63 大祭司就撕開衣服，說：「我們何必再用見證人呢？
14:64 你們已經聽見他這僭妄的話了。你們的意見如何？」他們都定他該死的罪。
14:65 就有人吐唾沫在他臉上，又蒙著他的臉，用拳頭打他，對他說：「你說預言吧！」差役接過他來，用手掌打他。
53 They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders and the teachers of the law came together. 54 Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.
55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.
57 Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even then their testimony did not agree.
60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.
Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
63 The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”
They all condemned him as worthy of death. 65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.

主耶穌雖然是上帝的兒子，卻情願在這一群虛謊的人中間，被他們無理的羞辱與控告。甚至沒有躲避人的逼迫，祂勇敢承認：「我是。你們必看見人子坐在那權能者的右邊，駕著天上的雲降臨。」
主耶穌在這裡說：「我是！」就表明祂是上帝，因為只有上帝可以說：「我是！」
更奇特的是，主耶穌自從降生以後，就讓人性也就是有血有肉的身體，存留一直到永遠，彰顯祂是上帝的兒子，永生的上帝！
