(Matt. 26:63-68; Mark 14:61-65; Luke 22:66-71) And again the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ, the Son of the blessed God. Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said it. And he said to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me; and if I shall also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go. But hereafter I say to you: You shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his garments, saying: He hath blasphemed. What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy from his own mouth. What think you? But they answering said: He is guilty of death. Then did they spit in his face:
and they that held him mocked him, and they blindfolded his face, and smote him with buffets. And others struck his face with the palms of their hands, saying: Prophesy unto us, O Christ, who is he that struck thee? And blaspheming, many other things they said against him.
