Jesus said, "I am; and "you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power,' and "coming with the clouds of heaven.' "
63
Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "Why do we still need witnesses?
64
You have heard his blasphemy! What is your decision?" All of them condemned him as deserving death.
65
Some began to spit on him, to blindfold him, and to strike him, saying to him, "Prophesy!" The guards also took him over and beat him.
66
While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came by.
67
When she saw Peter warming himself, she stared at him and said, "You also were with Jesus, the man from Nazareth."
68
But he denied it, saying, "I do not know or understand what you are talking about." And he went out into the forecourt. Then the cock crowed.
69
And the servant-girl, on seeing him, began again to say to the bystanders, "This man is one of them."
70
But again he denied it. Then after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, "Certainly you are one of them; for you are a Galilean."
71
But he began to curse, and he swore an oath, "I do not know this man you are talking about."
72
At that moment the cock crowed for the second time. Then Peter remembered that Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept.
