Matthew 26:63-65
1599 Geneva Bible
63 But Jesus held his peace. Then the chief Priest answered, and said to him, I charge thee swear unto us by the living God, to tell us, If thou be that Christ the son of God, or no.
64 (A)Jesus said to him, Thou hast said it: nevertheless I say unto you, [a]Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man, sitting [b]at the right hand of the power of God, and come in the [c]clouds of the heaven.
65 Then the high Priest [d]rent his clothes, saying, He hath blasphemed, what have we any more need of witnesses: behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
