Now the high priests and the whole of the Sanhedrin tried to secure false evidence against Jesus, in order to have him put to death;
whoever maligns his brother must come before the San hedrin, whoever curses his brother must go to the fire of Gehenna.' But I tell you, whoever is angry with his brother [without cause] will be sentenced by God.
Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
Why ask me? Ask my hearers what I have said to them; they know what I said."
