Now it was Kayafa who gave counsel to the Yehudim, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15
Shim`on Kefa followed Yeshua, as did another talmid. Now that talmid was known to the Kohen Gadol, and entered in with Yeshua into the court of the Kohen Gadol;
16
but Kefa was standing at the door outside. So the other talmid, who was known to the Kohen Gadol, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Kefa.
17
Then the maid who kept the door said to Kefa, "Are you also one of this man's talmidim?" He said, "I am not."
18
Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Kefa was with them, standing and warming himself.
19
The Kohen Gadol therefore asked Yeshua about his talmidim, and about his teaching.
20
Yeshua answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Yehudim always meet. I said nothing in secret.
21
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, these know the things which I said."
22
When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Yeshua with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the Kohen Gadol like that?"
23
Yeshua answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"
24
Anan sent him bound to Kayafa, the Kohen Gadol.
