SCRIPTURE

"And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?" — Matthew 26:62 (ASV)

And the high priest arose and said to him
He rose up from his seat in great wrath and anger; partly being vexed, that they could get no other and better testimony; and partly because of Christ's contemptuous silence, giving no answer to the witnesses, as judging they deserved none; and which highly provoked the high priest, and therefore in passion said,

do you answer nothing? what is it which these witness against you?
Is it true or false, right or wrong? The Vulgate Latin renders it, "do you answer nothing to those things which these witness against you?" To which agree the Arabic version, and Munster's Hebrew Gospel.
