3. Sanhedrin tries Jesus. Mark 14:61-64

61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?" 62 "I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." 63 The high priest tore his clothes. "Why do we need any more witnesses?" he asked. 64 "You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him as worthy of death.

“Jesus Stands Accused”

Jesus stands all alone before the Sanhedrin (ancient Jewish tribunal). His accusers are enraged as they heap insults and curses upon him. They want to put an end to his work and ministry in the world. But Jesus, the one who came to show us how to live, speaks only the truth in love.
