In Matthew 26:63-66, Mark 14:61-64, and Luke 22:70-71, during the trial of Jesus before the high priest and the elders, they accused Him of blasphemy. The high priest asked Jesus if He was the Messiah, the Son of God, and when Jesus affirmed this, they charged Him with blasphemy. According to Jewish law, blasphemy was a grave offense, and they used His statement about being the Son of God as grounds for their conviction.
