Jesus Mocked and Beaten^(A)

^63 (B)Now the men who held Jesus mocked Him and ^(C)beat Him.

^67 (A)Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and ^(B)others struck Him with ^[a]the palms of their hands, ⁶⁸ saying, ^(C)“Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”

⁶⁵ And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him.

⁷³ And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, “Surely you also are one of them, for your ^(A)speech betrays you.”

²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”

⁷¹ Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak!”

^72 (A)A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And when he thought about it, he wept.

⁶⁰ But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!”

Immediately, while he was still speaking, ^[a]the rooster crowed. ⁶¹ And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then ^(A)Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, ^(B)“Before the rooster ^[b]crows, you will deny Me three times.” ⁶² So Peter went out and wept bitterly.
