Matthew 26:59 in Context — Matthew 26
57 Ceux qui avaient saisi Jésus l’emmenèrent chez le souverain sacrificateur Caïphe, où les scribes et les anciens étaient assemblés.
58 Pierre le suivit de loin jusqu’à la cour du souverain sacrificateur, y entra, et s’assit avec les serviteurs, pour voir comment cela finirait.
59 Les principaux sacrificateurs et tout le sanhédrin cherchaient quelque faux témoignage contre Jésus, suffisant pour le faire mourir.
60 Mais ils n’en trouvèrent point, quoique plusieurs faux témoins se fussent présentés. Enfin, il en vint deux, qui dirent:
61 Celui-ci a dit: Je puis détruire le temple de Dieu, et le rebâtir en trois jours.
