Mark 14:55

Verse 55 of 72. The 14th of 16 chapters in Mark, in The Gospels.

51A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,

52but he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.

53They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.

54Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

55Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

56For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.

57Some stood up and gave false testimony against him, saying,

58“We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

59Even so, their testimony didn’t agree.
