52And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come to him: Have ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves? 53When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54And they took him, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.
55And they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. 56And a certain maid seeing him as he sat by the fire, and looking intently upon him, said: This man also was with him. 57And he denied him, saying: Woman, I do not know him.
58And after a little while, another seeing him said: Thou also art of them. And Peter said: Man, I am not.
59And about the space of one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying: Of a truth this one also was with him; for he is a Galilæan. 60And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, a cock crowed.
61And the Lord turning looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him: Before a cock crows this day, thou wilt deny me thrice. 62And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
63And the men who held Jesus mocked him, beating him; 64and having blindfolded him they asked him, saying: Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? 65And many other things they said, reviling him.
66And when it was day, the elders of the people[66], and the chief priests and scribes, came together; and they brought him up into their council, saying: 67If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them: If I tell you, ye will not believe. 68And if I ask, ye will not answer. 69But henceforth shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. 70And they all said: Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them: Ye say it; for I am. 71And they said: Why need we any further witness? For we ourselves heard it from his own mouth.
XXIII. And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. 2And they began to accuse him, saying: We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king. 3And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said to him: Thou sayest it. 4And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes: I find no fault in this man. 5And they were the more violent, saying: He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judæa, beginning from Galilee, unto this place.
6When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the man is a Galilæan. 7And learning that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him up to Herod, who also was himself in Jerusalem at that time.
