Matthew 26:58-61 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

58. But Peter followed along at a distance and came to the courtyard of the high priest's palace. He went in and sat down with the guards to see what was going to happen.

59. The chief priests and the whole council wanted to put Jesus to death. So they tried to find some people who would tell lies about him in court.

60. But they could not find any, even though many did come and tell lies. At last, two men came forward

61. and said, “This man claimed that he would tear down God's temple and build it again in three days.”
