Now the slaves and the temple police had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold. They were standing there warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, warming himself.

When He had said these things, one of the temple police standing by slapped Jesus, saying, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, “You aren’t one of His disciples too, are you?”

He denied it and said, “I am not!”

Standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple He loved standing there, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not know it was Jesus.

The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.

“Jesus the Nazarene,” they answered.

“I am He,” Jesus told them.

Judas, who betrayed Him, was also standing with them.

But Peter remained standing outside by the door. So the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the girl who was the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.

I know that You always hear Me, but because of the crowd standing here I said this, so they may believe You sent Me.”
