Mark 14:55-59

    The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they could not find any. Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.

    Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.' " Yet even their testimony did not agree.

Matthew 26:59-60a  

    The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward.

John 18:19-24  

    Meanwhile, the high priest (Annas) questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

    "I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. "I have always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said." 

    When Jesus said this, one of the officers nearby slapped him in the face. "Is this the way you answer the high priest?" he demanded.

    "If I said something wrong," Jesus replied, "testify to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?" Then Annas sent him to Caiaphas the high priest.

 

Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree. Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.' " Yet even their testimony did not agree.  

John 2:28-29  

    The Jews then responded to him, "What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do this?"

    Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."  (see John 2:13-25)
