Then Jesus said to him, "See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and, to testify to the people, make the offering that Moses prescribed."

Then the high priests and the elders of the people met in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

One of the men with Jesus put out his hand and drew his sword, and with a thrust at the high priest's slave cut off his ear.

The men who had laid hands on Jesus took Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, at whose home the scribes and elders had met.

And Peter followed Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest's home; he even went inside and was sitting among the attendants to see how it would end.

Then the high priest arose and said to Him, "Have you no answer to make? What do you say to the evidence that they bring against you?"

But Jesus kept silent. So the high priest said to Him, "I charge you, on your oath, in the name of the living God, tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."

Then the high priest tore his clothes, and said, "He has uttered blasphemy, What more evidence do we need? You have just heard His blasphemy.
