Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Mark 14:57

"And there stood up certain, and bare false witness against him, saying," — Mark 14:57 (ASV)

Soon a definite charge was made. Jesus had said he would destroy this “man-made temple” and build another “not made by man” in three days (compare Jn 2:19 with Mk 13:2). The charge, however, proved invalid because again the testimony of the witnesses was inconsistent.
