“Et adduxerunt Jesum ad summum sacerdotem : et convenerunt omnes sacerdotes, et scribæ, et seniores.”
“And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.”
“They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.”
“They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.”
“And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.”
Verses 53-65 We have here Christ's condemnation before the great council of the Jews. Peter followed; but the high priest's fire-side was no proper place, nor his servants proper company, for Peter: it was an entrance into temptation. Great diligence was used to procure false witnesses against Jesus, yet their testimony was not equal to the charge of a capital crime, by the utmost stretch of their law. He was asked, Art thou the Son of the Blessed? that is, the Son of God. For the proof of his being the Son of God, he refers to his second coming. In these outrages we have proofs of man's enmity to God, and of God's free and unspeakable love to man.
