Matthew 26:59 in Context — Matthew 26
57 Os que prenderam Jesus o trouxeram [à casa] de Caifás, o sumo sacerdote, onde os escribas e os anciãos estavam reunidos.
58 E Pedro o seguia de longe, até o pátio do sumo sacerdote; e entrou, e se assentou com os servos, para ver o fim.
59 Os chefes dos sacerdotes, os anciãos, e todo o supremo conselho buscavam falso testemunho contra Jesus, para poderem matá-lo,
60 mas não encontravam. E ainda que muitas falsas testemunhas se apresentavam, [contudo] não encontravam.
61 Mas, por fim, vieram duas falsas testemunhas, que disseram: Este disse: “Posso derrubar o Templo de Deus e reconstruí-lo em três dias”.
