Jesus Before Caiaphas and the Council
57pThen qthose who had seized Jesus led him to rCaiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered. 58And sPeter was following him at a distance, as far as rthe courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with tthe guards to see the end. 59Now the chief priests and the whole council8 uwere seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death, 60but they found none, vthough many false witnesses came forward. At last wtwo came forward 61and said, “This man said, x‘I am able to ydestroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.’” 62And the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?”9 63zBut Jesus remained silent. aAnd the high priest said to him, b“I adjure you by cthe living God, dtell us if you are ethe Christ, fthe Son of God.” 64Jesus said to him, g“You have said so. But I tell you, from now on hyou will see the Son of Man iseated at the right hand of Power and hcoming on the clouds of heaven.” 65Then the high priest jtore his robes and said, k“He has uttered blasphemy. What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard his blasphemy. 66What is your judgment?” They answered, l“He deserves death.” 67Then mthey spit in his face nand ostruck him. And some slapped him, 68saying, “Prophesy to us, you pChrist! Who is it that struck you?”
Peter Denies Jesus
69qNow Peter was sitting outside rin the courtyard. And a servant girl came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean.”
