Mark 14:60-62
New English Translation
60 Then[a] the high priest stood up before them[b] and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is this that they are testifying against you?” 61 But he was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him,[c] “Are you the Christ,[d] the Son of the Blessed One?” 62 “I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand[e] of the Power[f] and coming with the clouds of heaven.”[g]
