But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome.

Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.

They did not find {any,} even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward,
Matt 26:61
&
and said, "This man stated, `I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days."'
Matt 26:62
&
The high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"

Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;
Matt 26:66
&
what do you think?" They answered, "He deserves death!"
