John 18:18-28

18 And the servants and [the] ministers stood at the coals, for it was cold, and they warmed them(selves); and Peter was with them, standing and warming him(self).
19 And the bishop asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching.
20 Jesus answered to him, I have spoken openly to the world; I taught evermore in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews came together, and in huddles I spake nothing [+I taught ever in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews came together, and in private I spake nothing].
21 What askest thou me? ask them that heard me, what I have spoken to them; lo! they know, what things I have said.
22 When he had said these things, one of the ministers standing nigh, gave a buffet to Jesus, and said [saying], Answerest thou so to the bishop?
23 Jesus answered to him, If I have spoken evil, bear thou witnessing of evil; but if I said well, why smitest thou me?
24 And Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the bishop.
25 And Simon Peter stood, and warmed him(self); and they said to him [therefore they said to him], Whether also thou art his disciple? He denied, and said, I am not.
26 One of the bishop's servants, cousin of him, whose ear Peter cut off, said, Saw I thee not in the yard with him [said, Whether I saw not thee in the garden with him]?
27 And Peter again denied, and at once [and anon] the cock crew.
28 Then they led Jesus to Caiaphas (from Caiaphas), into the moot hall; and it was early, and they entered not into the moot hall, that they should not be defouled, but that they should eat pask.
