The false witnesses before Caiaphas

Saint Mark - Chapter 14

The false witnesses before Caiaphas. J-J Tissot

[55] Summi vero sacerdotes et omne concilium quaerebant adversus Jesum testimonium, ut eum morti traderent, nec inveniebant.
And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they might put him to death, and found none.

[56] Multi enim testimonium falsum dicebant adversus eum : et convenientia testimonia non erant.
For many bore false witness against him, and their evidences were not agreeing.

[57] Et quidam surgentes, falsum testimonium ferebant adversus eum, dicentes :
And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:

[58] Quoniam nos audivimus eum dicentem : Ego dissolvam templum hoc manu factum, et per triduum aliud non manu factum aedificabo.
We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another not made with hands.

[59] Et non erat conveniens testimonium illorum.
And their witness did not agree.

[60] Et exsurgens summus sacerdos in medium, interrogavit Jesum, dicens : Non respondes quidquam ad ea quae tibi objiciuntur ab his?
And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men?

[61] But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him: Art thou the Christ the Son of the blessed God?
Ille autem tacebat, et nihil respondit. Rursum summus sacerdos interrogabat eum, et dixit ei : Tu es Christus Filius Dei benedicti?

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
