They2also1blindfolded2him3andkept asking4him,3“Prophesy!6Who7is8it9that struck10you?”11 And1they said5many3other things2against6him,7blaspheming4him. When2day4came,3the6assembly of the elders7of the8people9gathered together,5both11chief priests10and12scribes.13And14they led15him16away15to17their20council,19and they said, andthey said,1“If2you3are4the5Christ,6tell7us.8”But10he said9to them,11“If12I tell14you,13you will17not1516believe,17 and2if1I ask3you,you will6not45answer.6 But4from1now on3the6Son7of Man9shall be5seated10at11theright12handof the13power14of God.”16 So2they1all3said,1“Are6you4the7Son8of God,10then?”5And12he11said15to13them,14“You16say17that18I19am.”20 Then2they1said,3“What4further5testimony7dowe need?68We have heard11itourselves9from12his own15lips.”14
