Matthew 26:63

First Nations Version

Creator Sets Free (Jesus) remained silent before all and said nothing to defend himself. Hollow in the Rock (Caiaphas) was frustrated! His face became red with anger, and his voice thundered. “On your honor before the living Creator I call on you to speak the truth!” he demanded. “Tell us whether you are the Chosen One, the Son of the Great Spirit!” The room became silent. Time seemed to stand still. The air was filled with tension as they waited for his answer. When he spoke, every ear and eye in the room were fixed on him, for he must now answer.
