Matthew 26:57-68

Jesus Before Caiaphas and the Council

57 Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered. 58 And Peter was following him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end. 59 Now the chief priests and the whole council were seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death, 60 but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward 61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.’” 62 And the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” 63 But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” 64 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.” 65 Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has uttered blasphemy. What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard his blasphemy. 66 What is your judgment?” They answered, “He deserves death.” 67 Then they spit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him, 68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?”

  1. Father, how did you hold back your fury while watching your Son suffer? Father, you so loved me that you gave your only Son that I might have life. And not just for me, for all that believe. Believe today, my friend, and be saved.

  2. Jesus teach us how to forgive like You. To be spit upon and beaten and whipped yet still love us so. No other love is greater than Yours. I praise Your Holy Name Jesus. Amen.

    1. Gracias padre amado por amarnos tanto es incomparable tu amor hacia nosotros los pecadores , diste a tu hijo unigénito por todo aquel que en ti crea gracias mi Dios por mi salvación.

  4. When people don’t understand the Christian life you live some of them can be intolerable. They judge you unjustly, tell lies on you, mistreat you, slander your name., and even try to belittle who you are. But thanks to Jesus He has already showed us in dignity how to love and forgive those who mistreat us, and like Jesus we too must take up our cross and follow our Lord and Savior.

    Be blessed church
