LUKE 22 : 66 - 71
Early the next morning at daybreak the Jewish Supreme Court assembled, including the chief priests and all the top religious authorities of the nation. Jesus was led before this council, and instructed to state whether or not he claimed to be the Messiah.
But he replied," If I tell you, you won't believe me or let me present my case. But the time is soon coming when I, the Messiah, shall be enthroned beside Almighty God."
They all shouted, "Then you claim you are the Son of God?" And he replied," Yes, I am." "What need do we have for other witnesses?" they shouted. "For we ourselves have heard him say it."
