54 And having arrested Him, they aled Him away, and brought Him into the house of the high priest. But Peter bfollowed at a distance.
55 And when they had lit a fire in the middle of the acourtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56 And a certain servant girl, seeing him seated in the light of the fire, looked intently at him and said, This man was with Him too.
57 But he denied it, saying, I do not know Him, woman.
58 And after a short time, another person, seeing him, said, You also are one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not!
59 And after about one hour had passed, 1another one insisted, saying, Surely this man was also with Him, for he is also a aGalilean.
60 But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying. And instantly, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, Before a arooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
63 And the men who were holding Him mocked Him and abeat Him.
64 And they blindfolded Him and questioned Him, saying, 1Prophesy! aWho is the one who hit You?
65 And they said many other things against Him, ablaspheming.
66 And when it became day, the assembly of the elders of the people, both achief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and they led Him away to their 1Sanhedrin, saying,
67 aIf You are the bChrist, tell us. But He said to them, If I tell you, you shall by no means believe;
68 And if I ask you, you shall by no means answer.
69 But from now on the 1Son of Man will be seated at the aright hand of the power of God.
70 And they all said, Are You then the 1Son of God? And He said to them, aYou say rightly that I am.
71 And they said, What further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from His mouth.
