Jesus’ Arrest

^54 (A)Now they arrested Him and led Him away, and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but ^(B)Peter was following at a distance. ^55 (C)After they kindled a fire in the middle of ^(D)the courtyard and sat down together, Peter was sitting among them. ⁵⁶ And a slave woman, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, and staring at him, said, “This man was with Him as well.” ⁵⁷ But he denied it, saying, “I do not know Him, woman!” ⁵⁸ And a little later, ^(E)another person saw him and said, “You are one of them too!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!” ⁵⁹ And after about an hour had passed, some other man began to insist, saying, “Certainly this man also was with Him, ^(F)for he, too, is a Galilean.” ⁶⁰ But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. ⁶¹ And then ^(G)the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, “^(H)Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.” ⁶² And he went out and wept bitterly.
