And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and
so did another disciple; that disciple was known unto the high priest and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16
But Peter stood at the door without. Then that other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, went out and spoke unto her that kept the door and brought in Peter.
17
Then the damsel that kept the door said unto Peter, Art not thou also
one of this man’s disciples? He said, I am not.
18
And the slaves and servants stood there, who had made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves; and Peter stood with them and warmed himself.
19
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples and of his doctrine.
20
Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews gather; and I have said nothing in secret.
21
Why dost thou ask me? Ask those who heard me what I have said unto them; behold, they know what I said.
22
And when he had thus spoken, one of the servants who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil, but if well, why dost thou smite me?
24
Thus Annas sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also
one of his disciples? He denied
it and said, I am not.
