MARK 14:59 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“But neither so did their witness agree together.”
Yet even then their testimony did not agree — the second failure of witness coordination confirms that no legitimate conviction can be obtained on the available testimony. The trial is stalled; the high priest must find another approach.
Church Fathers on Mark 14:59
The Evangelist had related above how our Lord had been taken by the servants of the Priests. Now he begins to relate how He was condemned to death in the house of the High Priest.
He means by the High Priest, Caiaphas, who (as John writes) was High Priest that year, of whom Josephus relates that he bought his priesthood of the Roman Emperor.
Then took place the gathering together of the bulls among the heifers of the people. [Ps 67:31, Vulgate]
