- Having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance.
- After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.
- And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, "This man was with Him too."
- But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him."
- A little later, another saw him and said, "You are one of them too!" But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"
|
- After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, "Certainly this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean too."
- But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
- The Lord turned and looked at Peter And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times."
- And he went out and wept bitterly.
- Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking Him and beating Him,
|
- and they blindfolded Him and were asking Him, saying, "Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?"
- And they were saying many other things against Him, blaspheming.
- When it was day, the Council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their council chamber, saying,
- "If You are the Christ, tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe;
- and if I ask a question, you will not answer.
|
- "But from now on THE SON OF MAN WILL BE SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND of the power OF GOD."
- And they all said, "Are You the Son of God, then?" And He said to them, "Yes, I am."
- Then they said, "What further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth."
