[57] And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. [58] But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, the end. [59] Now the chief priests, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to him to death; [60] But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, [61] And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build in three days. [62] And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against [63] But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest and said unto him, I adjure by the living God, that thou tell whether thou the Christ, the Son of God. [64] Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say Hereafter the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. [65] Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? now ye have heard his blasphemy. [66] What think They answered and said, guilty of death. [67] Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, [68] Saying, Prophesy thou Christ, Who that smote [69] Now Peter sat without in the palace: and damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also with Jesus of Galilee. [70] But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. [71] And when he was gone out into the porch, another him, and said unto them that were there, This also with Jesus of Nazareth. [72] And again he denied with an oath, not know the man. [73] And after came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also one of them; for speech bewrayeth [74] Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. [75] And Peter the word of Jesus, which said Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
