Matthew 26:69-27:14
English Standard Version Anglicised
Peter Denies Jesus
69 (A)Now Peter was sitting outside (B)in the courtyard. And a servant girl came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean.” 71 And when he went out to the entrance, another servant girl saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus (C)of Nazareth.” 72 And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man.” 73 After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for (D)your accent betrays you.” 74 Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the cock crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, (E)“Before the cock crows, you will (F)deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
Jesus Delivered to Pilate
27 (G)When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people (H)took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. 2 And they bound him and (I)led him away and (J)delivered him over to (K)Pilate the governor.
Judas Hangs Himself
3 Then when (L)Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus[a] was condemned, (M)he changed his mind and brought back (N)the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? (O)See to it yourself.” 5 And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, (P)he departed, and he went and hanged himself. 6 But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into (Q)the treasury, since it is blood money.” 7 So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. 8 Therefore (R)that field has been called the Field of Blood (S)to this day. 9 (T)Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, (U)“And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, 10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.”
Jesus Before Pilate
11 (V)Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you (W)the King of the Jews?” Jesus said, (X)“You have said so.” 12 (Y)But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he gave no answer. 13 Then Pilate said to him, (Z)“Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?” 14 But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
