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 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.

And while they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the commander of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, being displeased because they taught the people and declared by Jesus the resurrection of the dead; and they laid hands on them and put them in prison till the next day; for it was now evening. read more.
But many of those that heard the word believed, and the number of the men became about five thousand. And on the next day the rulers, and elders, and scribes assembled at Jerusalem, and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and all that were of the family of the chief priesthood, and placing them in the midst, asked, By what power, or by what name, have you done this? Then Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel, if we are to-day examined concerning the good work done to the sick man, by what means he has been cured, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazoraean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him has this man stood before you sound. This is the stone rejected by you builders, which has become the head of a corner. And there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name given under heaven among men, by which we can be saved. And seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and supposing that they were illiterate and common men, they wondered, and perceived that they had been with Jesus; and seeing the man standing with them cured, they could not dispute it. And commanding them to withdraw from the Sanhedrim, they conferred one with another, saying, What shall we do to these men? for that a notable miracle has been performed by them is manifest to all that live at Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it; but that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them severely, [and charge them] to speak no more to any man in this name. And calling them, they charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge; for we cannot but tell what we have seen and heard. And threatening them still further, they dismissed them, not being able to punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified God for what was done;

And all who sat in the Sanhedrin looking steadily at him saw his face like the face of an angel.

And the chief priest said, Are these things then so? And he said, Men, brothers, and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran, and said to him, Go out from your country and your kindred, and come to a land which I will show you. read more.
Then going out from the land of the Chaldeans, he lived in Haran. And thence, after the death of his father, he removed into this land in which you now live. And [God] gave him no inheritance in it, not the breadth of a foot, and promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his posterity after him, when as yet he had no son. And God said thus; that his posterity should be a stranger in a foreign land, and they shall enslave it and treat it injuriously four hundred years; and the nation which they shall serve will I judge, said God, and after that they shall come forth and serve me in this place. And he gave him the ordinance 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 from all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and [he] made him governor over Egypt and all his house. And there came a famine on all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no provisions. But Jacob hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent our fathers the first time; and the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's family was made known to Pharaoh. And Joseph sent and called for his father Jacob, and all the family of seventy-five souls. And Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, he and our fathers; and they carried him back to Shechem and buried him in the tomb which Abraham bought for money of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem. But when the time of the promise which God made with an oath to Abraham was at hand, the people increased and became numerous in Egypt, till another king arose who knew not Joseph. This [king] dealt deceitfully with our race, and treated injuriously our fathers, causing their infants to be exposed that they might not be preserved alive. At that time Moses was born, and was beautiful in the sight of God, and was nourished three months in his father's house; but being exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up and nourished him as her own son. And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his words and works. And when he was forty years old, it came into his mind to visit his brothers, the children of Israel. And seeing one injured he defended him, and executed judgment for the oppressed, smiting the Egyptian. And he thought his brothers would understand that God would give them salvation by his hand; but they understood not. On the following day also he showed himself to them as they contended, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, you are brothers; why do you injure one another? But he that injured his neighbor repelled him, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? Will you kill me as you did the Egyptian, yesterday? And Moses fled at that saying, and lived a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons. And forty years being completed there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, an angel in a flame of fire, in a bush. And Moses seeing it, wondered at the sight; and coming near to look at it, there was a voice of the Lord, I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. And Moses being afraid dared not look at it. And the Lord said to him, Put off your shoes from your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy ground. I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and have come down to deliver them; and now come, I will send you to Egypt. This is the Moses whom they denied, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? Him did God send to be a ruler and a redeemer by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush. This man brought them out, having performed prodigies and miracles in Egypt, and at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years. This is the Moses who said to the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up for you, of your brothers, like me. This is he that was with the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received the living oracles to give us, whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him away and turned back in their hearts to Egypt, saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us; for this Moses who led us up out of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him. And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands. And God turned and gave them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets; Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me forty years in the wilderness, house of Israel, and take up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, figures which you made to worship? I will even remove you beyond Babylon. Our fathers in the wilderness received the tabernacle of the testimony, as he that spoke to Moses charged him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen; which also our fathers receiving it in succession brought with Joshua into the possession of the nations, whom God expelled before the face of our fathers till the days of David; who found favor with God and desired to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob. And Solomon built him a house. But the Most High dwells not in [temples] made with hands, as the prophet says; Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool; what house will you build me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest? has not my hand made all these things? Stiff necked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always fight against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, you also do. Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you now have become betrayers and murderers, who have received the law by orders of angels and have not kept it. And when they heard these things they were enraged in their minds and gnashed their teeth upon him. But he being full of the Holy Spirit, looking steadily 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 with a loud voice they stopped their ears and rushed upon him with one accord, and casting him out of the city, stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man called Saul, and they stoned Stephen, calling and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

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.

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.

Then Jesus said to him, Put up your sword in its place; for all who take the sword shall perish by the sword. Do you think that I could not ask my Father, and he would furnish me more than twelve legions of angels? How then would the Scriptures be accomplished, that it must be so? At that time Jesus said to the multitudes, Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take me? I sat daily teaching in the temple, and you did not take me; but all this was done that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all forsook him and fled.

And they answered and said, He is worthy of death. Then they spit in his face, and struck him with their fists, and some struck him with the palms of their hands, saying, Prophesy to us, Christ, who is it that struck you?

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.
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.
