61 And they said: This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God and after three days to rebuild it.
61
and said, "This fellow said, "I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.' "
62 And the high priest rising up, said to him: Answerest thou nothing to the things which these witness against thee?
62
The high priest stood up and said, "Have you no answer? What is it that they testify against you?"
63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God.
63
But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him, "I put you under oath before the living God, tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God."
64 Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said it. Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God and coming in the clouds of heaven.
64
Jesus said to him, "You have said so. But I tell you, From now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven."
65 Then the high priest rent his garments, saying: He hath blasphemed: What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy.
65
Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? You have now heard his blasphemy.
66 What think you? But they answering, said: He is guilty of death.
66
What is your verdict?" They answered, "He deserves death."

67
Then they spat in his face and struck him; and some slapped him,
68 Saying: Prophesy unto us, O Christ. Who is he that struck thee?
68
saying, "Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who is it that struck you?"
69 But Peter sat without in the court. And there came to him a servant maid, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean.
69
Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant-girl came to him and said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."
70 But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what thou sayest.
70
But he denied it before all of them, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."
71 And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him; and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.
71
When he went out to the porch, another servant-girl saw him, and she said to the bystanders, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."
72 And again he denied with an oath: I know not the man.
72
Again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."
73 And after a little while, they came that stood by and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them. For even thy speech doth discover thee.
73
After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Certainly you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you."
74 Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
74
Then he began to curse, and he swore an oath, "I do not know the man!" At that moment the cock crowed.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which he had said: Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And going forth, he wept bitterly.
75
Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: "Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.
