| 61and declared, "This fellow said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.'" | 61and stated, "This man said, 'I can destroy the sanctuary of God and rebuild it in three days.'" |
| 62Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?" | 62At this, the high priest stood up and asked Jesus, "Don't you have any answer to what these men are testifying against you?" |
| 63But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God." | 63But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest told him, "I command you by the living God to tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God!" |
| 64"You have said so," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." | 64Jesus told him, "You have said so. Nevertheless 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.'" |
| 65Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses?

| 71Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, "This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth." | 71As he went out to the gateway, another woman saw him and told those who were there, "This man was with Jesus from Nazareth." |
| 72He denied it again, with an oath: "I don't know the man!" | 72Again he denied it and swore with an oath, "I don't know the man!" |

| 75Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly. | 75Peter remembered the words of Jesus when he said, "Before a rooster crows, you'll deny me three times." Then he went outside and cried bitterly. |
