How then will the scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen this way? That very hour Jesus said to the people, Have you come out to take me with swords and sticks as if I were a thief? You did not take me when I taught in the Temple daily. This has taken place so that the writings of the prophets will come true. Then all his disciples left him. Those who captured Jesus took him to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest. The scribes and those in authority also gathered there. But Peter kept his distance. He followed him to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the servants, to see the outcome. The chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus. They wanted to put him to death. They failed, even though a number of false witnesses came. Later two witnesses came. They said: This man said, 'I am able to destroy the Temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.' The high priest stood up and said to him: Have you no answer? What is it these say against you? Jesus said nothing. The high priest said to him: I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said to him: You said it yourself. And I say to you, after this you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven.

But they got a hold of the linen cloth and he fled naked. They led Jesus away to the high priest. The chief priests, elders and scribes came together with him. Peter followed him at a distance. He followed into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers staying warm by the fire. Now the chief priests and the whole council looked for witness against Jesus to put him to death. They found none. Many gave false witness against him. But their witness was not in agreement. One person falsely witnessed against him by saying: We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands. Even so their witness did not agree. The high priest stood in the middle of them, and said to Jesus: Do you not answer? What is it these say against you? But he kept quiet and said nothing. Again the high priest questioned him: Are you the Christ, the son of the Holy One? Jesus said: I am and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. Violently parting his robes, the high priest said: What need do we have for more witnesses? We have heard his words against God. What is your opinion? They all said he should be put to death. Some spit on him and covering his face they gave him blows. Guess who hit you, they said. The leaders took him and beat him with their hands. Peter was still in the courtyard when one of the High Priest's servant women came by. When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said: You were with Jesus of Nazareth. He denied it. I do not know and I do not understand what you are talking about, he answered. He went out into the passageway. The servant woman saw him there and told bystanders, He is one of them! Peter denied it again. Later the bystanders accused Peter again saying: You cannot deny that you are one of them, because you, too, are from Galilee. Then Peter said: I swear I am telling the truth! May God punish me if I lie! I do not know the man you are talking about! Then a rooster crowed. Peter remembered what Jesus said: Before the rooster crows two times, you will deny me three times. He broke down and cried.

As he spoke a crowd followed Judas, one of the twelve. They came to him. Judas approached Jesus and kissed him. Jesus said to him: Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss? Those near him saw what happened and asked: Lord shall we strike them with a sword? read more.
One of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. Jesus said: Do not do any more of this. Then he touched his ear and healed him. Jesus spoke to the chief priests, captains of the temple and elders who came against him: Did you come as you would against a robber with swords and clubs? I was with you every day in the temple. Yet you did not lift a hand against me. This is your hour for this power of darkness. They seized him and led him away. They took him to the high priest's house. Peter followed from a distance. They kindled a fire in the midst of the court. They sat down together. Peter sat in the midst of them. A servant girl saw him sitting by the light of the fire. She looked steadfastly upon him and said: This man was also with him. He denied it saying: Woman, I do not know him! After a little while another saw him, and said: You are one of them. Peter replied: Man I am not! Another hour passed. Someone else said: It is true this man was with him for he is a Galilean. Peter responded: I do not know what you are talking about! Immediately, while he spoke he heard the cockcrow. The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him: Before the cockcrow this day you will deny me three times. He left there and wept bitterly. The men that held Jesus mocked him and beat him. They blindfolded him, and asked him, saying: Prophesy: who is it that struck you? They reviled him and spoke many things against him. The next day the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together. They included chief priests and scribes. They led him away to their council, saying: If you are the Christ, tell us. But he said to them: If I tell you, you will not believe: and if I ask you, you will not answer. Soon the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God. They all asked: Are you the Son of God? He said to them: You say that I am. They responded: What further need do we have for witnesses? We have heard this from his mouth.

Judas brought a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees there with lights and with weapons. Jesus knew what was about to happen to him. He asked: Whom do you seek? They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus replied: I am he. Judas the betrayer was with them. read more.
When he said to them I am he they drew back and fell to the ground. Again he asked: Whom do you seek? And they said: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered: I told you that I am he. If you seek me let these go their way. That way the word he spoke might be fulfilled; 'I lost none of those you gave me.' Simon Peter drew the sword he had, struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. Jesus said to Peter: Put the sword in the sheath. Shall I drink the cup the Father has given me? The soldiers, the military commanders, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him. They led him to Annas first for he was father in law to Caiaphas who was high priest that year. Caiaphas was the man who gave counsel to the Jews that it was for their benefit that one man should die for the people. Simon Peter followed Jesus and so did another disciple. The high priest knew that disciple. He entered the court of the high priest with Jesus. Peter stood outside the door. The disciple known by the high priest went out and spoke to the woman who kept the door and he brought in Peter. The maid that kept the door asked Peter: Are you also one of this man's disciples? He said: I am not. It was cold. So the servants and officers warmed themselves by the fire. Peter also stood by the fire to get warm. The high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about the things he taught. Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple where all the Jews gathered. I spoke nothing in secret. Why do you ask me? Ask them that heard me what I spoke to them. They know the things I said. When he said this one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus with his hand, saying: You answer the high priest! Jesus answered him: If I spoke evil, bear witness of the evil. But if I spoke honestly, why do you strike me? Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. Simon Peter stood nearby warming himself. They asked him: Are you also one of his disciples? He denied it saying: I am not. One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, said: Did I see you in the garden with him? Peter denied it again. Then the cock crowed. They lead Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early and they did not enter directly into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. Pilate went to them and asked: What accusation do you make against this man? They answered: If this man were not an evildoer we would not deliver him to you. Pilate replied: Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law. The Jews said: It is not lawful for us to put any man to death. Thus the word of Jesus would be fulfilled when he spoke about the kind of death he would experience. Pilate entered again into the Praetorium. He called Jesus and asked him: Are you the King of the Jews? Jesus answered: You say this about me. Or did others tell you it concerning me? Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me! What have you done? Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world! If my kingdom were of this world my servants would fight that I should not be delivered to the Jews. My kingdom is not from this domain. Pilate said: Are you a king then? Jesus answered: As you say I am a king. I was born and came into the world for this purpose, that I should bear witness to the truth! Every one who is of the truth hears my voice. Pilate then asked: What is truth? After saying this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them: I find no fault in him. You have a custom that I release someone to you at the Passover. Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews? They cried out: Not this man, but Barabbas. Barabbas was a robber.

There was an important, wealthy, chief tax collector called Zacchaeus. He tried to see who Jesus was. Being a short person he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore (fig-mulberry) tree near where he would pass by in order to see him. read more.
When Jesus came to the place he looked up at Zacchaeus and said: Come down quickly for today I must visit your home. He hurried down to receive him joyfully. Many in the crowd complained saying: He is staying with a man who is a sinner. Zacchaeus stood before Jesus and said: Lord, I now give half of all my possessions to the poor. If I have defrauded any one I will give back four times the amount taken. Jesus said to him: Salvation has come to this house today. He is also a son of Abraham. The Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

The chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus. They wanted to put him to death.

He left and went into their synagogue. There he saw a man who had a withered hand. They asked him if it is lawful to heal on the Sabbath day? They wanted to accuse him. He said to them: Which of you having one sheep, if this sheep fell into a pit on the Sabbath day, will not get it and lift it out. read more.
