What does the Bible say about false witnesses?

In Matthew 26, the chief priests and elders sought false witnesses against Jesus, aiming to put Him to death. Despite many attempts, they found none who could substantiate a charge against Him, demonstrating the dangers of false testimony. Scripture indicates that a thing could only be established at the mouth of two or three witnesses. The false witnesses quoted Jesus' own words but did not capture the truth of His message, as they lacked understanding of His identity and mission, thus revealing them as false witnesses.
