And the high priest rising, said to Him, Do you respond nothing? what are they witnessing against you? And Jesus was silent; and the high priest responding said to Him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou art the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus says to him, Thou didst say it. Moreover I say unto you, that, Hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

They spat in His face, and buffeted Him: and they slapped Him, saying, Prophesy unto us, who is the one smiting thee?

And they laid their hands on Him and arrested Him. And a certain one of those standing by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

And all leaving Him, fled away. And one certain young man followed Him, invested with a linen cloth on his unclothed body: and they take hold of him. And he leaving the linen cloth, fled from them in a state of nudity. And they led Jesus to the high priest: and all the chief priests and elders and scribes came together to Him. And Peter followed Him a long way off, even into the court of the high priest; and was sitting with the officers, and warming at the fire. And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking testimony against Him to put Him to death; and they found none. For many were testifying falsely against Him, and their testimonies were not equal. And certain ones rising up, were testifying falsely against Him, saying, We heard Him saying, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and will build another in three days, made without hands. And thus their testimony was not equal. And the high priest rising up in their midst, asked Jesus, saying, Do you respond nothing? what are they witnessing against you? And He was silent, and answered nothing: again the high priest asked Him, and says to Him, Art thou 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 power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. The high priest tearing his garments, says, Why have we yet need of witnesses? You heard the blasphemy: what seems to you? And all answered, He is worthy of death. And certain ones began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and say to Him, Prophesy: and the officers received Him with blows.

And having lighted a fire in the midst of the court, and they sitting together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them. And a certain maidservant, seeing him sitting at the fire, and fixing her eyes on him, said, This man was with Him. And he denied Him, saying, Woman, I know Him not. And after a brief interval another seeing him, said, Truly, thou art one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And about one hour having elapsed, a certain other man accosted him, saying, He was truly with Him: for he is a Galilean. And Peter said, Man, I know Him not. And immediately, he yet speaking, the cock crew. And the Lord turning, looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He said to him, that, Before the cock shall crow thou shalt deny me thrice. And having gone out, he wept bitterly. And the men having Him, began to mock, beating Him, and covering Him, they continued to ask saying, Prophesy, who is the one smiting thee. And blaspheming, they continued to speak many other things against Him. And when it was day, the eldership of the people was convened, and the chief priests and scribes, and they led Him into their sanhedrim. Saying, If thou art the Christ, tell us. And He said to them, If I may tell you, you will not believe: and if indeed I will ask you, you will not respond to me, or release me. And from now the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God. And all said, Art thou the Son of God? And He said to them, You say that I am. And they said, Why have we yet need of testimony? for we heard from His own mouth.

And many of those hearing the word believed, and the number of men was about five thousand. And it came to pass on the morrow, the rulers and elders and scribes assembled in Jerusalem, and Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and so many as were of the family of the high priest. And having set them in the midst, asked them, By what power or in what name have you done this? Then Peter being full of the Holy Spirit said to them, Ye rulers of the people and elders, if we are this day judged for the benefaction of the impotent man, by whom he has been saved, let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, through him this man now stands sound in your presence. This is the stone rejected by your builders, which has become the head of the corner. And there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name given under heaven among men by which it behooveth us to he saved. And seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and apprehending that they are unlearned and ignorant men, they continued to be astonished, and recognized them, that they were with Jesus; and seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it. And having commanded them to depart out from the assembly, they conferred with one another, saying, What can we do to these men? for that a notable miracle has been wrought by them is indeed manifest to all dwelling at Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it; but that it may extend no further unto the people, let us threaten them to speak no more in this name to any one of men. And having called them, they command them, not at all to speak or teach in the name of Jesus. And Peter and John responding said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than God, judge ye; for we are not able not to speak those things which we have seen and heard. And they having threatened them, in addition sent them away, finding nothing to the end that they can punish them, on account of the people, because all continued to glorify God over that which had taken place;

And all sitting in the council, having fixed their eyes on him, saw his face as the face of an angel.

And the high priests said; Are these things so? And he said, Men, brothers and fathers, hear ye; The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he migrated into Haran, and He said to him; Come out from thy country and from thy kindred, and come hither into the land which I will show unto thee. read more.
And after his father died he migrated himself thence into this country in which you now dwell, and God gave him no inheritance in it, not the step of his foot; and he promised to give it to him, and his seed after him, for an inheritance, there being no child to him. And thus God spoke, that his seed shall sojourn in a strange land, and they will enslave it and oppress it four hundred years. And the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, says God, and after these things they shall come out and serve me in this place. And He gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac, Jacob; and Jacob, the twelve patriarchs. And the patriarchs, envying Joseph, sold him into Egypt: and God was with him, and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him grace and wisdom before Pharaoh the king of Egypt; and he placed him governor over Egypt and all his house. And the famine came into all the land and Canaan, and great distress: and our fathers found no sustenance. And Jacob hearing that there is food in Egypt, sent away our fathers first. And the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren, and his race became manifest to Pharaoh. And Joseph sending, called to him Jacob his father, and all the family, seventy-five souls. And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he and our fathers died there. And they were carried over into Shechem, and buried in a tomb which Abraham purchased from the sons of Emmor in Shechem with a sum of money. When the time of the promise which God made with Abraham drew nigh, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt, until another king arose over Egypt, who knew not Joseph. He dealing fraudulently with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their infants, so that they should not live. During which time Moses was born, and was beautiful to God; who was kept three months in the house of his father. And he being exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him, and adopted him for a son to herself. And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and was mighty in his words and works. And when the time of the fortieth year was fulfilled to him, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. And seeing a certain one suffering affliction, he interposed, and executed vengeance in behalf of the oppressed one, slaying the Egyptian. And he supposed that his brethren would understand that God through his hand is giving them salvation: but they did not recognize it. On the following day, he appeared to them fighting, and undertook to reduce them to peace, saying, Men, you are brethren; therefore do not injure one another. And the one injuring his neighbor thrust him away, saying, Who appointeth you a leader and a judge over us? whether do you wish to kill me, in the manner in which you slew the Egyptian yesterday? And at this word Moses fled, and became a sojourner in the land of Midia, where he begat two sons. And forty years having passed away, an angel appeared to him in the desert of Mount Sinai in the flame of fire of the bramble bush. And Moses, seeing the sight, was astonished: and he coming nigh to investigate, the voice of the Lord came: I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembling, did not dare to investigate. And the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet: for the place on which thou standest is holy ground. Seeing, I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and heard their groaning, and have come down to deliver them. And come now, I will send thee into Egypt. And this Moses whom they denied, saying, Who hath established thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent a ruler and deliverer, with the hand of an angel having appeared unto him in a bush. He led them out, doing wonders and miracles in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years. This Moses is the one having said to the sons of Israel, A prophet will God raise up to you of your brethren, like unto me. And this is the one being in the church in the wilderness with the angel speaking to him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the living oracles to give unto us; to whom our fathers were not willing to be obedient, but thrust him away, and turned back in their hearts towards Egypt, saying to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us: for this Moses, who led us out from the land of Egypt, we know not what happened to him. And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. And God turned away, and gave them up to serve the host of the heaven; as has been written in the book of the prophets: Slain victims and sacrifices you have not brought unto me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel. And ye took up the shrine of Moloch, and the star of the god Remphan, images which you made to worship them; and I will transport you beyond Babylon. And the tabernacle of testimony was with our fathers in the wilderness, as the one speaking to Moses commanded him to make it according to the example he had seen; which our fathers receiving, brought in along with Joshua in the dispossession of the nations, whom God drove out, from the face of our fathers, until the days of David, who found favor before God, and asked that he should build a tabernacle for the house of Jacob. But Solomon built a house for him. But the Most High dwelleth not in houses built with hands, as the prophet says, Heaven is my throne, and earth the footstool of my feet: What house will you build for me? says the Lord; Or what shall be the place of my rest? Hath not my hand made all of these things? Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do ye. Which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? and they slew those proclaiming concerning the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you became: who received the law in the administrations of angels, and did not keep it. And hearing these words, they were cut through their hearts and gnashed their teeth at him. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, and looking up to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. And crying out with a loud voice, they stopped their ears, and unanimously rushed on him, and casting him out from the city, they began to stone him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, called Saul: and continued to stone Stephen, calling upon the Lord, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

And Peter being in the court, one of the maidservants of the high priest comes down; and seeing Peter warming, looking upon him, says, Thou wast with Jesus the Nazarene.

And Peter remembered the word which Jesus told him; That, before the cock shall crow twice, thou wilt deny me thrice. And having gone out, he continued to weep.

And Jesus said to him, Comrade, unto what do you come? Then having come forward they laid hands on Him, and bound Him. And behold, one of those along with Jesus, reaching out his hand, drew his sword, and smiting the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear. Then Jesus says to him, Turn away thy sword into its place; for all taking the sword shall perish by the sword. Whether do you think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will send me more than twelve legions of angels? How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, because it is necessary thus to be done? And at that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, You have come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to take me: daily did I sit with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not arrest me: but all this took place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all leaving Him, fled away.

Whether do you think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will send me more than twelve legions of angels? How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, because it is necessary thus to be done? And at that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, You have come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to take me: daily did I sit with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not arrest me: but all this took place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all leaving Him, fled away.

Moreover I say unto you, that, Hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

And immediately the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus having spoken to him, That before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And having gone out, he wept bitterly.

And a certain maidservant, seeing him sitting at the fire, and fixing her eyes on him, said, This man was with Him. And he denied Him, saying, Woman, I know Him not. And after a brief interval another seeing him, said, Truly, thou art one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name to that servant was Malchus. Then Jesus said to Peter, Put thy sword in the scabbard: the cup which the Father gave me, shall I not drink it? Then the band and chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound Him. And they led Him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. And Caiaphas was the one counseling the Jews, that it is profitable that one man die for the people. And Simon Peter and the other disciples followed Jesus. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and came with Jesus into the court of the high priest. And Peter stood without at the door. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came out and spoke to the porter, and led in Peter. And then the maidservant porter says to Peter, Art thou not one of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not. And the servants and officers, having made a fire; because it was cold; were standing by it, and warming. And Peter was standing with them, and warming. Then the high priest asked Jesus concerning His disciples and concerning His teaching. And Jesus said to him, I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret. Why do you ask me? ask those who have heard, what I said to them: behold, they know what I said. And He speaking these things, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a slap, saying, Do you thus answer the high priest? Jesus responded to him, If I spoke wickedly, witness concerning the wickedness: but if beautifully, why do you smite me? Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. And Simon Peter was standing and warming: and they said to him, Art thou not one of His disciples? He denied, and said, I am not. And one of the servants of the chief priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did I not see thee in the garden with Him? Then Peter again denied, and immediately the cock crew. Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the judgment hall: and it was morning. And they did not come into the judgment hall, in order that they might not be polluted, but that they might eat the passover. Then Pilate came out to them, and says, What accusation do you bring against this man? They responded and said to him, If He were not an evil doer, we would not deliver Him to you. Then Pilate said to them. You take Him, and judge Him according to your law. Then the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to kill any one. In order that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He spoke, signifying by what death He was about to die. Then Pilate came again into the judgment hall, and asked Jesus, and said to Him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus responded, Do you speak this of yourself, or did others tell you concerning me? Pilate responded, Whether am I a Jew? thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee to me: what hast thou done? Jesus responded, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight for me, in order that I might not be delivered to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from thence. Then Pilate said to Him, Then, art thou not a king? Jesus responded, Thou says that I am king. Unto this I was born, and unto this I have come into the world, in order that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice. Pilate says to Him, What is truth? And saying this, again he went out to the Jews, and speaks to them, I find no crime in Him. There is a custom to you, that I release unto you one during the passover. Then do you wish that I may release unto you the King of the Jews? Then they all again cried out, saying, Not Him, but Barabbas. And Barabbas was a robber.
Then when He said to them, I am He, they went back, and fell on the ground. Then He again asked them, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

And Simon Peter was standing and warming: and they said to him, Art thou not one of His disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.
