For many testified falsely against him, and the testimonies were not alike. And certain having risen up testified falsely against him, saying, That we heard him saying, That I will abolish this temple made with hands, and in three days will I build another, made without hands. And neither so was their testimony alike. And the chief priest having risen up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what these testify against thee And he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the chief priest asks him, and says to him, Art thou Christ, Son of the Praised And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting from the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. And the chief priest, having rent his tunic, says, What further need have we of witnesses Ye have heard the blasphemy; How does it appear to you? And they all condemned him to be liable to the penalty of death. And certain began to spit upon him, and to cover his face, and to cuff him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the attendants struck him blows with rods.

And having been morning, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, to kill him: And having bound they brought him away, and they delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the leader.

And Pilate having called together the chief priests and rulers and people, Said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as perverting the people: and, behold, I having examined him before you, have found nothing blameworthy in this man, of what things ye bring an accusation against him: But neither Herod: for I sent you forth to him; and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him. read more.
Therefore, having chastised him, I will release. (And he had necessity to loose one at the festival.) And they cried out with the entire multitude, saying, Take this away, and loose to us Barabbas: (Who was for a certain sedition having been in the city, and slaughter, cast into prison.) Again Pilate called, wishing to loose Jesus. And they exclaimed, saying, Crucify, crucify him. And he said to them the third time, For what evil has he done I have found no cause of death in him: therefore, having corrected him, I will loose. And they were urgent with great voices, asking for him to be crucified. And their voices and the chief priests' overcame. And Pilate sanctioned their asking to be done.

And they having held Jesus, brought to Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and elders were gathered together. And Peter followed him from far, even to the court-yard of the chief priest, and having entered within, he sat with the attendants, to see the end.

And they found not: and many false witnesses having come near, they found not. And afterwards two false witnesses, having come near, said, This said, I can loosen the temple of God, and after three days build it. And the chief priest, having risen, said to him, Answerest thou nothing? what do these witness against thee? But Jesus was silent. And the chief priest having answered, said to him, I cause thee to swear by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art Christ, the Son of God. And Jesus says to him, Thou hast said: but I say to you, from henceforth ye shall see the Son of man, sitting from the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the chief priest tore his garments, saying, That he blasphemed: what further need have we of witnesses? see, now ye have heard his blasphemy. What seems to you? And they having answered, said, He is liable to the penalty of death. Then did they spit in his face, and cuffed him, and struck him with a rod: Saying, Prophesy to us, O Christ, Who is he having struck thee

And having taken, they brought him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter followed him far off. And having kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and they having sat down together, Peter sat down in the midst of them. And a certain young girl having seen him sitting by the light, and looked intently upon him, said, And this was with him. read more.
And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. And after a little another having seen him, said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And about the space of one hour a certain other assured himself, saying, Of a truth this also was with him: for he is a Galilean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, he yet speaking, the cock uttered a sound. And the Lord having turned, looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, That before the cock utters a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter having come forth without wept bitterly. And the men holding Jesus mocked him, stripping. And having covered him, they struck his face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy who it is having struck thee. And many other things, blaspheming, they spake against him. And when it was day, the council of elders of the people was gathered together, and the chief priests and scribes, and they brought him to their council, Saying, Art thou Christ? tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye would not believe: And if I ask you, ye would not answer me, or loose me. From now shall the Son of man be sitting from the right hand of the power of God. And they all said, Art thou therefore the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am. And they said, Why have we yet need of testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his month.

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and came together with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest. And Peter stood before the door without. Then went out the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and spake to her guarding the door, and brought in Peter. Then says the young girl guarding the door to Peter, Art not thou also of this man's disciples? He says, I am not. read more.
And the servants and attendants stood, having made a heap of burning coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself. Then the chief priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching. Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret. Why askest thou me? ask those having heard, what I said to them: see, they know what I said. And he having said these things, one of the attendants standing by gave Jesus a blow with a rod, having said, Answerest thou the chief priest so? Jesus answered him, If I spake badly, testify of evil: and if well, why strikest thou me? (Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.) And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art thou not also of his disciples he denied, and said, I am not. Says one of the chief priest's servants, being of his family whose ear Peter cut off, Saw I not thee in the garden with him? Then Peter again denied: and quickly the cock uttered a sound. Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: and it was early morning; and they came not into the pretorium, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the pascha. Then went Pilate out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man They answered and said to him, If he were not injurious, we had not delivered him to thee. Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. Then said the Jews to him, It is not lawful for us to kill any one: That the word of Jesus might be completed which he spake, giving a sign by what death he was about to die.
