And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,
16
and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.
17
Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, `I am not;'
18
and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

21
why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.'

And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?'
23
Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?'
