SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #525

And the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death. And they found not, whereas many false witnesses had come in. And last of all there came two false witnesses: And they said: "This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God and after three days to rebuild it." (Matt. 26:59-61)

FALSE WITNESS: The two witnesses sinned against the eight Commandment; and they sinned grievously, because they gave false evidence on a very important matter.

[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]

(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
