Matthew 26:57-59

Jesus before Caiaphas

57 ¹Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to ²Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

58 But ³Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the ⁴courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the ⁵officers to see the outcome.

59 Now the chief priests and the whole ⁶Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.
