John 18:17-27

17 ¹Then the slave-girl who kept the door said to Peter, "²You are not also one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."

18 Now the slaves and the ³officers were standing there, having made ⁴a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were ⁵warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.

19 ⁶The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.

20 Jesus answered him, "I ⁷have spoken openly to the world; I always ⁸taught in synagogues and ⁹in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.

21 "Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said."

22 When He had said this, one of the ¹⁰officers standing nearby ¹¹struck * Jesus, saying, "Is that the way You answer the high priest?"

23 ¹²Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?"

24 ¹³So Annas sent Him bound to ¹⁴Caiaphas the high priest.

Peter's Denial of Jesus

25 ¹⁵Now ¹⁶Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, "¹⁷You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."

26 One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one ¹⁸whose ear Peter cut off, said, "Did I not see you in ¹⁹the garden with Him?"

27 Peter then denied it again, and immediately ²⁰a rooster crowed.
