And Peter followed him at a distance, till he came into the court of the chief priest; and he sat with the officers and warmed himself before the light. And the chief priests and all the Sanhedrim sought testimony against Jesus to kill him, and did not find it. For many testified falsely against him, but their testimony did not agree; and some arose and testified falsely against him, saying, We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days will build another made without hands. And neither in this did their testimony agree. And the chief priest standing up in the midst asked Jesus, saying, Do you not answer any thing to what these testify against you? And he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the chief priest asked him, and said to him, Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am; and you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. And the high priest rent his clothes, and said, What further need have we of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy; what do you think? And they all condemned him to be deserving of death. And some spit on him; and they blindfolded him, and beat him with the fist, and said to him, Prophesy. And the officers beat him with open hands. And Peter being in the court below, one of the female servants of the chief priest came, and seeing Peter warming himself, looked at him, and said, You also were with Jesus the Nazarene. But he denied it, saying, I do not know [him]; neither do I know what you say. And he went out into the porch, and a cock crew. And the female servant seeing him said to those standing by, This is one of them. But he again denied it. And after a short time those standing by again said to Peter, You are certainly one of them, for you are also a Galilean. And he cursed and swore, I know not this man of whom you speak. And a cock crew a second time. And Peter was reminded of the word, how Jesus said to him, Before a cock crows twice, you will deny me thrice. And he wept bitterly.

And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, came before them, and he approached Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss? And those about him seeing what was about to occur, said, Lord, shall we strike with the sword? read more.
And one of them struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear. But Jesus answered and said, Suffer even this; and touching his ear he healed him. And Jesus said to the chief priests, and commanders of the temple, and elders who came against him, Have you come with swords and clubs, as against a robber? When I was daily with you in the temple you stretched not out your hands upon me but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. And apprehending him, they led him away, and conducted him to the house of the chief priest; and Peter followed at a distance. And they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and sat down, Peter sat in the midst of them. And a certain female servant seeing him sitting by the light, and looking steadily at him, said, This man also was with him. But he denied him, saying, I do not know him, woman. And after a little, another seeing him, said, You also are one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. And about an hour intervening, another strongly affirmed, saying, Certainly, this man was also with him; for he is also a Galilean. But Peter said, Man, I know not what you say. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, a cock crew. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter; and Peter was reminded of the Lord's word, that he said to him, Before a cock crows to-day you shall deny me thrice; and going out, Peter wept bitterly. And the men having him in custody mocked him, beating him; and blindfolding him they asked him, saying, Prophecy who it is that struck you? And they reviled him with many other words. And when it was day, the eldership of the people, and the chief priests, and scribes were assembled, and they brought him into their sanhedrim, saying, If you are the Christ, tell us? And he said to them, If I tell you you will not believe; and if I ask you will not answer. But from this time the Son of man will sit on the right hand of the power of God. And they all said, Are you the Son of God then? And he said to them, I am as you say. And they said, What further need have we of testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his mouth.

Then Judas taking the guard and the officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with torches, and lamps, and weapons. Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went out and said to them, Whom do you seek? They answered him, Jesus the Nazoraean. Jesus said to them, I am he. And Judas who betrayed him stood with them. read more.
When, therefore, he said to them, I am he, they went backwards and fell on the ground. Then he asked them again, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus, the Nazoraean. Jesus answered, I told you that I am he; if, therefore, you seek me, let these go; that the word might be fulfilled which he said, Of those whom thou gayest me I have lost none. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear; and the name of the servant was Malchus. Then Jesus said to Peter, Put the sword in the sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it? Then the guard and the chiliarch and the officers of the Jews apprehended Jesus, and bound him, and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year; and Caiaphas was the one who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed for the people. But Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple; and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and went in with Jesus to the chief priest's court; but Peter stood at the door without. Then the other disciple who was known to the chief priest went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought in Peter. Then the female servant, the door-keeper, said to Peter, Are you also one of the disciples of this man? He said, I am not. And the servants and officers having made a fire because it was cold, stood and warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself. Then the chief priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and his teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always assemble, and in secret I have said nothing. Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; behold, they know what I said. He having said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave Jesus a blow, saying, Do you answer the chief priest thus? Jesus answered him, If I spoke wrong, testify of the wrong; but if well, why do you beat me? Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest. And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, Are you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not. One of the servants of the chief priest, being a relation of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with him? Then Peter denied again; and immediately a cock crew. THEN they led him from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. And it was morning; and they entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. Then Pilate went out to them and said, What accusation do you bring against this man? They answered and said to him, If he was not a criminal we should not have delivered him up to you. Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death; that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die. Then Pilate went into the Praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Are you the king of the Jews? Jesus answered, Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell you of me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have delivered you to me; what have you done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom had been of this world my officers would have fought for me, that I should not be given up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not here. Then Pilate said to him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, As you say, I am a king. For this was I born, and for this I came into the world, that I should testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth hears my voice. Pilate said to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, I find no fault in him. But you have a custom that I should release one to you at the passover; are you willing, therefore, that I should release to you the king of the Jews? Then all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. But Barabbas was a robber.


And behold, there was a man called Zaccheus, and he was chief publican, and was rich. And he sought to see Jesus, who he was; and could not on account of the multitude, because he was of small stature. And running before, he went up on a sycamore that he might see him; for he was to pass by it. read more.
And when he came to the place, Jesus looking up saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must stop at your house; and he made haste and came down, and received him rejoicing. And seeing it, they all complained, saying, He has gone in to stop with a sinner. And Zaccheus stood up and said to the Lord, Behold, half of my property, Lord, I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of any thing, I restore fourfold. And Jesus said to him, To-day has salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; for the Son of man has come to seek and save the lost.


And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim sought false testimony against Jesus to kill him,


And Jesus knowing their thoughts answered and said to them, Why do you reason in your minds?


And departing thence he went into their synagogue, and behold a man having a withered hand [was there]. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath? that they might accuse him. And he said to them, What man is there of you having one sheep, who if this falls into a pit on the sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? read more.
How much then is a man better than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do good on the sabbath. Then he said to the man, Stretch out your hand; and he stretched it out, and it was restored as sound as the other;

and behold, there was a woman who had been subject to a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent down, and was not able to lift herself up at all. And Jesus seeing her, called to her and said, Woman, you are released from your infirmity; and he put his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. read more.
And the synagogue ruler answered, being angry because Jesus had performed a cure on the sabbath, and said to the multitude, There are six days in which you ought to work; in them, therefore, come and be cured, and not on the sabbath.
