John 18:26-28

Living Bible

²⁶ But one of the household slaves of the High Priest—a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off—asked, “Didn’t I see you out there in the olive grove with Jesus?”

²⁷ Again Peter denied it. And immediately a rooster crowed.

²⁸ Jesus’ trial before Caiaphas ended in the early hours of the morning. Next he was taken to the palace of the Roman governor. His accusers wouldn’t go in themselves for that would “defile” them,^[a] they said, and they wouldn’t be allowed to eat the Passover lamb.
