But Peter answered, "Man, I am not!"
[22:59] After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!"
[22:60] But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you are talking about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. [22:61] The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times." [22:62] He went out, and wept bitterly.
[22:63] The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him. [22:64] Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, "Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?" [22:65] They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
[22:66] As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying, [22:67] "If you are the Christ, tell us."
But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe, [22:68] and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go. [22:69] From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
[22:70] They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?"
He said to them, "You say it, because I am."
[22:71] They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!"
[23:1] The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate. [23:2] They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king."
