And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what
is it which these witness against thee? But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God, the Son of the Blessed? Jesus saith unto him,
Thou hast said: nevertheless say I unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. What think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and others smote him with the palms of their hands, saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: (the damsel that kept the door;) and when she saw Peter, as he sat by the fire, warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. Art thou not also one of this man's disciples?
But he denied before them all, saying, Woman, I know him not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals: for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. And after a little while, when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This is one of them, this fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
And about the space of an hour after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely, thou art one of them: for thou art a Galileean, and thy speech agreeth thereto. One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. And immediately the second time, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
