What is it that these men testify against you?” ^{▼▼Or Have you no answer to what these men testify against you?} 63 ^hBut Jesus remained silent. ⁱAnd the high priest said to him, ^j“I adjure you by ^kthe living God, ^ltell us if you are ^mthe Christ, ⁿthe Son of God.” 64 Jesus said to him, ^o“You have said so. But I tell you, from now on ^pyou will see the Son of Man ^qseated at the right hand of Power and ^rcoming on the clouds of heaven.” 65 Then the high priest ^store his robes and said, ^t“He has uttered blasphemy.
