But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him,“ I am commanding you in the name of the living God. May he judge you if you don’t tell the truth. Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

耶稣却不言语。大祭司对他说：“我指着永生神叫你起誓告诉我们，你是神的儿子基督不是？”

耶稣却不言语。大祭司对他说：“我指着永生上帝命令你起誓告诉我们，你是不是基督—上帝的儿子？”

耶稣却不言语。大祭司对他说：“我指着永生神命令你起誓告诉我们，你是不是基督—神的儿子？”

耶稣还是沉默不语。大祭司又对祂说：“我奉永活上帝的名命令你起誓告诉我们，你是不是上帝的儿子基督？”

耶稣却不作声。大祭司又对他说：“我指着永生的神要你起誓，告诉我们你是不是基督、神的儿子。”

耶稣却沉默不语。大祭司又对他说：“我命令你指着永生的神起誓，告诉我们你是不是基督——神的儿子？”

耶穌卻不言語。大祭司對他說：「我指着永生神叫你起誓告訴我們，你是神的兒子基督不是？」

耶穌卻不言語。大祭司對他說：「我指着永生上帝命令你起誓告訴我們，你是不是基督－上帝的兒子？」

耶穌卻不言語。大祭司對他說：「我指着永生神命令你起誓告訴我們，你是不是基督－神的兒子？」

耶穌還是沉默不語。大祭司又對祂說：「我奉永活上帝的名命令你起誓告訴我們，你是不是上帝的兒子基督？」

耶穌卻不作聲。大祭司又對他說：“我指著永生的神要你起誓，告訴我們你是不是基督、神的兒子。”

耶穌卻不作聲。大祭司對他說：『我指着永活的上帝誓囑你，告訴我們，你是上帝的兒子、上帝所膏立者不是。』

耶穌卻沉默不語。大祭司又對他說：「我命令你指著永生的神起誓，告訴我們你是不是基督——神的兒子？」

耶穌不答、大祭司曰、我指維生上帝、令爾誓而告我、爾果上帝子基督否、

耶穌默然、祭司長曰、當永生上帝前、我令爾誓而告我、爾果上帝子基督否、

耶穌默然、大祭司曰、我令爾指永生天主誓而告我、爾果天主之子基督否、

耶穌默然不答。大司祭曰：『予指永生之天主、使爾誓而告予、爾為天主之子基督乎？』

But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him,“ I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him,“ I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

But 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.”

But Jesus kept silent. The high priest said to him,“ I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

But 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.”

But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him,“ I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”

But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

But Jesus kept silent. Then the high priest said to Him,“ By the living God I place You under oath: tell us if You are the Messiah, the Son of God!”

But 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.

But Jesus was silent. The high priest said to him,“ I charge you under oath by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him,“ I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

Simon Peter answered,“ You are the Messiah. You are the Son of the living God.”

“‘ Suppose someone has been called as a witness to something they have seen or learned about. Then if they do not tell what they know, they have sinned. And they will be held responsible for it.

But when the chief priests and the elders brought charges against him, he did not answer.

He was treated badly and made to suffer. But he didn’t open his mouth. He was led away like a lamb to be killed. Sheep are silent while their wool is being cut off. In the same way, he didn’t open his mouth.

The Jews who were gathered there around Jesus spoke to him. They said,“ How long will you keep us waiting? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”

When they went into the woods, they saw the honey dripping out of a honeycomb. No one put any of the honey in his mouth. They were afraid of the curse that would come if they broke their promise.

A child will be born to us. A son will be given to us. He will rule over us. And he will be called Wonderful Adviser and Mighty God. He will also be called Father Who Lives Forever and Prince Who Brings Peace.There will be no limit to how great his authority is. The peace he brings will never end. He will rule on David’s throne and over his kingdom. He will make the kingdom strong and secure. His rule will be based on what is fair and right. It will last forever. The Lord’ s great love will make sure that happens. He rules over all.

For this reason the Jewish leaders tried even harder to kill him. According to them, Jesus was not only breaking the law of the Sabbath day. He was even calling God his own Father. He was making himself equal with God.Jesus answered,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. The Son can do nothing by himself. He can do only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does.This is because the Father loves the Son. The Father shows him everything he does. Yes, and the Father will show the Son even greater works than these. And you will be amazed.The Father raises the dead and gives them life. In the same way, the Son gives life to anyone he wants to.Also, the Father does not judge anyone. He has given the Son the task of judging.Then all people will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.“ What I’m about to tell you is true. Anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. They will not be judged. They have crossed over from death to life.What I’m about to tell you is true. A time is coming for me to give life. In fact, it has already begun. The dead will hear the voice of the Son of God. Those who hear it will live.

He went back inside the palace.“ Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus. But Jesus did not answer him.

But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge. The governor was really amazed.

and said,“ So you are going to destroy the temple and build it again in three days? Then save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”

We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

Nathanael replied,“ Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are the king of Israel.”

I have seen it happen. I am a witness that this is God’s Chosen One.”

The king said to him,“ I’ve made you promise to tell the truth many times before. So don’t tell me anything but the truth in the name of the Lord.”

God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world. He sent his Son to save the world through him.Anyone who believes in him is not judged. But anyone who does not believe is judged already. They have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

But Jesus remained silent. He gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him,“ Are you the Messiah? Are you the Son of the Blessed One?”

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him. They said,“ King Nebuchadnezzar, we don’t need to talk about this anymore.

“ So you are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered,“ You say that I am a king. In fact, that’s the reason I was born. I was born and came into the world to be a witness to the truth. Everyone who is on the side of truth listens to me.”

I and the Father are one.”

“ Who are you?” they asked.“ Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.

But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him,“ I am commanding you in the name of the living God. May he judge you if you don’t tell the truth. Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”“ You have said so,” Jesus replied.“ But here is what I say to all of you. From now on, you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One. You will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven.”Then the high priest tore his clothes. He said,“ He has spoken a very evil thing against God! Why do we need any more witnesses? You have heard him say this evil thing.What do you think?”“ He must die!” they answered.

To help a thief is to become your own enemy. When you go to court, you won’t dare to say anything.

He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him. He’s the one who said,‘ I am the Son of God.’ ”

At dawn the elders of the people met together. These included the chief priests and the teachers of the law. Jesus was led to them.“ If you are the Messiah,” they said,“ tell us.” Jesus answered,“ If I tell you, you will not believe me.And if I asked you, you would not answer.But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”They all asked,“ Are you the Son of God then?” He replied,“ You say that I am.”Then they said,“ Why do we need any more witnesses? We have heard it from his own lips.”

People shouted at him and made fun of him. But he didn’t do the same thing back to them. When he suffered, he didn’t say he would make them suffer. Instead, he trusted in the God who judges fairly.

Here is the part of Scripture the official was reading. It says,“ He was led like a sheep to be killed. Just as lambs are silent while their wool is being cut off, he did not open his mouth.When he was treated badly, he was refused a fair trial. Who can say anything about his children? His life was cut off from the earth.”( Isaiah 53:7, 8)The official said to Philip,“ Tell me, please. Who is the prophet talking about? Himself, or someone else?”Then Philip began with that same part of Scripture. He told him the good news about Jesus.

Then one of the soldiers told him,“ Your father forced the army to make a promise that everyone must obey. He said,‘ None of you must eat any food today. If you do, may you be under a curse!’ That’s why the men are weak and ready to faint.”

The king said to him,“ I’ve made you promise to tell the truth many times before. So don’t tell me anything but the truth in the name of the Lord.”

If that is true, what about the one the Father set apart as his very own? What about this one the Father sent into the world? Why do you charge me with saying a very evil thing? Is it because I said,‘ I am God’s Son’?

The Jewish leaders replied,“ We have a law. That law says he must die. He claimed to be the Son of God.”

But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. If you believe this, you will have life because you belong to him.

He says to them,“ I have placed my king on my holy mountain of Zion.”I will announce what the Lord has promised. He said to me,“ You are my son. Today I have become your father.

Those who are trying to kill me set their traps. Those who want to harm me talk about destroying me. All day long they make their plans and tell their lies.Like a deaf person, I can’t hear. Like someone who can’t speak, I can’t say a word.I’m like someone who doesn’t hear. I’m like someone whose mouth can’t make any reply.

The Roman commander and those guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened. They were terrified. They exclaimed,“ He was surely the Son of God!”

Then the priest must have the woman give her word. He must say to her,“ Suppose no other man has had sex with you. And suppose you haven’t gone astray. You have kept yourself pure while you are married to your husband. Then may the bitter water that brings a curse not harm you.But suppose you have gone astray while you are married to your husband. You have made yourself‘ unclean.’ You have had sex with a man who isn’t your husband.”At that point the priest must put the woman under the curse that will come if she breaks her word. He must say,“ May the Lord cause you to become a curse among your people. You will become a curse when the Lord makes your body unable to have children.

The Israelites became very hungry that day. That’s because Saul had forced the army to make a promise. He had said,“ None of you must eat any food before evening comes. You must not eat until I’ve paid my enemies back for what they did. If you do, may you be under a curse!” So none of the troops ate any food at all.
