Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15
And Simon Peter followed Jesus: and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.
16
But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the portress and brought in Peter.
17
The maid therefore that was portress saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man’s disciple? He saith I am not.
18
Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing and warming himself.
19
The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples and of his doctrine.
20
Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort: and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21
Why askest thou me? Ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them. Behold they know what things I have said.
22
And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?
23
Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?
24
And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.
