And having taken Jesus, they led him away to Caiaphas, the chief priest, where the scribes and elders were assembled. But Peter followed him at a distance, even to the court of the chief priest, and going in sat with the officers to see the end. And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim sought false testimony against Jesus to kill him, and did not find it, though many false witnesses came forward. But afterwards, two coming forward said, This man said, I can destroy the temple of God and build it in three days. And the chief priest rising up said to him, Do you answer nothing? What do these testify against you? But Jesus was silent. And the chief priest answering, said to him, I adjure you, by the living God, to tell me if you are the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said to him, As you say; but I tell you that hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. Then the chief priest rent his clothes, saying, He has blasphemed; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy. What do you think? 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? But Peter sat without in the court; and a female servant came to him, saying, You also were with Jesus the Galilean. But he denied it before all, saying, I know not what you say.

AND they led away Jesus to the chief priest; and all the chief priests, and elders, and scribes came together to him. And Peter followed him at a distance, till he came into the court of the chief priest; and he sat with the officers and warmed himself before the light. And the chief priests and all the Sanhedrim sought testimony against Jesus to kill him, and did not find it. For many testified falsely against him, but their testimony did not agree; and some arose and testified falsely against him, saying, We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days will build another made without hands. 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 he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the chief priest asked him, and said to him, Are you 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 the power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. And the high priest rent his clothes, and said, What further need have we of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy; what do you think? And they all condemned him to be deserving of death. And some spit on him; and they blindfolded him, and beat him with the fist, and said to him, Prophesy. And the officers beat him with open hands. 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. But he denied it, saying, I do not know [him]; neither do I know what you say. And he went out into the porch, and 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.

Then Judas taking the guard and the officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with torches, and lamps, and weapons. Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went out and said to them, Whom do you seek? They answered him, Jesus the Nazoraean. Jesus said to them, I am he.

Then Jesus said to Peter, Put the sword in the sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?

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.
