Then saith the damsel that kept the door to Peter, Art not thou also [one] of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
18
And the servants and officers 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 concerning his disciples, and concerning his doctrine.
20
Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21
Why dost thou ask me? ask them who heard me, what I have said to them: behold, they know what I have said.
22
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers 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 testimony of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24
(Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.)
25
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore to him, Art not thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied [it], and said, I am not.
26
One of the servants of the high priest (being the kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off) saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27
Peter then denied again, and immediately the cock crowed.
