Now Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another disciple. That disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple who was known to the high priest, and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17
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?

(Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.)
