Then the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled together, at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.

And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.

And they that had apprehended Jesus, led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

But Peter followed him afar off to the high priest's palace, and going in, sat with the officers, to see the end.

And the high priest rising up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee?

But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, to tell us, if thou art the Christ, the Son of God?

Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? Behold now ye have heard his blasphemy.
