New American Standard Bible
Chapter 26
60They did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward, 61and said, 'This man stated, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.’?' 62The high priest stood up and said to Him, 'Do You offer no answer for what these men are testifying against You?' 63But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, 'I place You under oath by the living God, to tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.' 64Jesus *said to him, 'You have said it yourself. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.'
65Then the high priest tore his robes and said, 'He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? See, you have now heard the blasphemy;
66what do you think?' They answered, 'He deserves death!'

Chapter 26
60But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, 61And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 62And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 63But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. 66What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death. 67Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, 68Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?Christian Standard Bible

62The high priest stood up and said to him, "Don't you have an answer to what these men are testifying against you? "

Chapter 26
60But even though they found many who agreed to give false witness, they could not use anyone’s testimony. Finally, two men came forward 61who declared, 'This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’'
62Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, 'Well, aren’t you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for yourself?'
63But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to him, 'I demand in the name of the living God — tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.'
