Mark 14:60-70

60 The high priest stood up and came forward * and questioned Jesus, saying, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"

61 ¹But He kept silent and did not answer. ²Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"

62 And Jesus said, "I am; and you shall see ³THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and ⁴COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN."

63 ⁵Tearing his clothes, the high priest said, "What further need do we have of witnesses?

64 "You have heard the ⁶blasphemy; how does it seem to you?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

65 Some began to ⁷spit at Him, and ⁸to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, "⁹Prophesy!" And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.

Peter's Denials

66 ¹⁰As Peter was below in ¹¹the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came,

67 and seeing Peter ¹²warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus the ¹³Nazarene."

68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are talking about." And he ¹⁴went out onto the porch. and a rooster crowed.871

69 The servant-girl saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, "This is one of them!"

70 But again ¹⁵he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, "Surely you are one of them, ¹⁶for you are a Galilean too."
