Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
54 And they arrested him [and] led [him] away and brought [him] into the house of the high priest. But Peter was following at a distance.
55
And [when they] had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
56
And a certain female slave, seeing him sitting in the light and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him!"
57
But he denied [it], saying, "Woman, I do not know him!"
58
And after a short time another person saw him [and] said, "You also are [one] of them!" But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"
59
And [after] about one hour had passed, someone else was insisting, saying, "In truth this man also was with him, because he is also a Galilean!"
60
But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about!" And immediately, [while] he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61
And the Lord turned around [and] looked intently at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."
62
And he went outside [and] wept bitterly.
63
And the men who were guarding him began to mock him [while] they beat [him],
64
and [after] blindfolding him they repeatedly asked [him], saying, "Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?"
65
And they were saying many other [things] against him, reviling [him].
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
66 And when day came, the council of elders of the people gathered, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away to their Sanhedrin,
67
saying, "If you are the Christ, tell us!" But he said to them, "If I tell you, you will never believe,
68
and if I ask [you], you will never answer!
69
But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
70
So they all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" And he said to them, "You say that I am."
71
And they said, "Why do we have need [of] further testimony? For [we] ourselves have heard [it] from his mouth!"
