# “He Should Die!”

Luke 22:63–71

That night, they mocked and beat and blindfolded Jesus. The next morning, the leaders and chief priests gathered. Guards brought Jesus to them. They said, “If you are the Christ, tell us.”

He replied, “If I tell you, you won’t believe. If I ask you questions, you won’t answer. But from now on, I’ll be seated at God’s throne.”

They asked, “Are you saying that you’re the Son of God?”

“You say that I am,” he answered.

“There!” they declared. “he said it himself. For this he should die!”

They tied Jesus up and led him away.

Questions: Where did Jesus say he would soon be sitting? What did Jesus say that caused them to want to kill him?
