Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not.
18
Now the servants and the police had made a fire of coals because it was cold; they were warming themselves in front of it and Peter was there with them, warming himself.
19
Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20
Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times; I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come; and I have said nothing secretly.
21
Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.
22
When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?
23
Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?
24
Then Annas sent him chained to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25
But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not.
26
One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?
27
Then again Peter said, No. And straight away a cock gave its cry.
