Matthew 26
New American Standard Bible
The Plot to Kill Jesus
26 (A)When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples, 2 “(B)You know that after two days (C)the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be (D)handed over for crucifixion.”
3 (E)At that time the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in (F)the courtyard of the high priest named (G)Caiaphas; 4 and they (H)plotted together to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him. 5 But they were saying, “Not during the festival, (I)otherwise a riot might occur among the people.”
The Precious Ointment
6 (J)Now when Jesus was in (K)Bethany, at the home of Simon [a]the Leper, 7 (L)a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very expensive perfume, and she poured it on His head as He was reclining at the table. 8 But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, “Why this waste? 9 For this perfume could have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you bothering the woman? For she has done a good deed for Me. 11 For you always have (M)the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. 12 For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it (N)to prepare Me for burial. 13 Truly I say to you, (O)wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
Judas’ Bargain
14 (P)Then one of the twelve, named (Q)Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What are you willing to give me [b]to [c](R)betray Him to you?” And (S)they set out for him thirty [d]pieces of silver. 16 And from then on he looked for a good opportunity to [e]betray [f]Jesus.
17 (T)Now on the first day of [g](U)Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and [h]asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” 18 And He said, “Go into the city to (V)a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “(W)My time is near; I am keeping the Passover at your house with My disciples.”’” 19 The disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.
The Last Passover
20 (X)Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the [i]twelve. 21 And as they were eating, He said, “(Y)Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.” 22 Being deeply grieved, they began saying to Him, each one: “Surely it is not I, Lord?” 23 And He answered, “(Z)He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man is going away (AA)just as it is written about Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (AB)It would have been good [j]for that man if he had not been born.” 25 And (AC)Judas, who was betraying Him, said, “Surely it is not I, (AD)Rabbi?” Jesus *said to him, “(AE)You have said it yourself.”
The Lord’s Supper Instituted
26 (AF)Now while they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and [k](AG)after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; 28 for (AH)this is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for (AI)many for forgiveness of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it with you, new, in My Father’s kingdom.”
30 (AJ)And after singing a [l]hymn, they went out to (AK)the Mount of Olives.
31 Then Jesus *said to them, “You will all [m](AL)fall away because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘(AM)I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be (AN)scattered.’ 32 But after I have been raised, (AO)I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 33 But Peter replied to Him, “Even if they all [n]fall away because of You, I will never fall away!” 34 Jesus said to him, “(AP)Truly I say to you that (AQ)this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” 35 Peter *said to Him, “(AR)Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” All the disciples said the same thing as well.
The Garden of Gethsemane
36 (AS)Then Jesus *came with them to a place called [o](AT)Gethsemane, and *told His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 And He took (AU)Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him, and began to be grieved and distressed. 38 Then He *said to them, “(AV)My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and (AW)keep watch with Me.”
39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let (AX)this cup pass from Me; (AY)yet not as I will, but as You will.” 40 And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and He *said to Peter, “So, you men could not (AZ)keep watch with Me for one hour? 41 (BA)Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; (BB)the spirit is [p]willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup (BC)cannot pass away unless I drink from it, (BD)Your will be done.” 43 Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. 45 Then He *came to the disciples and *said to them, “[q]Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, (BE)the hour [r]is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up, let’s go; behold, the one who is betraying Me is near!”
Jesus’ Betrayal and Arrest
47 (BF)And while He was still speaking, behold, (BG)Judas, one of the twelve, came [s]accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign previously, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; arrest Him.” 49 And immediately Judas went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, (BH)Rabbi!” and kissed Him. 50 But Jesus said to him, “(BI)Friend, do what you have come for.” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and arrested Him.
51 And behold, (BJ)one of those who were with Jesus [t]reached and drew his (BK)sword, and struck the (BL)slave of the high priest and [u]cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus *said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for (BM)all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve [v](BN)legions of (BO)angels? 54 How then would (BP)the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”
55 At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a man inciting a revolt? (BQ)Every day I used to sit within the temple grounds teaching, and you did not arrest Me. 56 But all this has taken place so that (BR)the Scriptures of the prophets will be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left Him and fled.
Jesus before Caiaphas
57 (BS)Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to (BT)Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. 58 But (BU)Peter was following Him at a distance, as far as the (BV)courtyard of the high priest, and he came inside and sat down with the [w](BW)officers to see the outcome.
59 Now the chief priests and the entire [x](BX)Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death. 60 They did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on (BY)two came forward, 61 and said, “This man stated, ‘(BZ)I am able to destroy the [y]temple of God and to rebuild it [z]in three days.’” 62 The high priest stood up and said to Him, “Do You offer no answer for what these men are testifying against You?” 63 But (CA)Jesus kept silent. (CB)And the high priest said to Him, “I (CC)place You under oath by (CD)the living God, to tell us whether You are the [aa]Christ, (CE)the Son of God.” 64 Jesus *said to him, “(CF)You have said it yourself. But I tell you, from now on you will see (CG)the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and (CH)coming on the clouds of heaven.”
65 Then the high priest (CI)tore his [ab]robes and said, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? See, you have now heard the blasphemy; 66 what do you think?” They answered, “(CJ)He deserves death!”
67 (CK)Then they (CL)spit in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others [ac]slapped Him, 68 and said, “(CM)Prophesy to us, You [ad]Christ; who is the one who hit You?”
Peter’s Denials
69 (CN)Now Peter was sitting outside in the (CO)courtyard, and a slave woman came to him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.” 71 When he had gone out to the gateway, another slave woman saw him and *said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72 And again he denied it, with an oath: “I do not know the man.” 73 A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “You really are one of them as well, (CP)since even the way you talk [ae]gives you away.” 74 Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the Man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the statement that Jesus had [af]made: “(CQ)Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.

Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
Религиозные вожди замышляют убить Ису Масиха(A)
26 Закончив говорить это, Иса сказал ученикам:
2 – Вы знаете, что через два дня будет праздник Освобождения[a], и Ниспосланного как Человек отдадут на распятие.
3 А во дворце верховного священнослужителя Каиафы[b] в это время собрались главные священнослужители и старейшины народа. 4 Они решили хитростью схватить Ису и убить.
5 – Только не во время праздника, – говорили они, – иначе народ может взбунтоваться.
Помазание Исы Масиха дорогим ароматическим маслом(B)
6 Иса находился в Вифании, в доме Шимона прокажённого[c]. 7 И когда Он возлежал за столом, к Нему подошла женщина с алебастровым кувшином, в котором было очень дорогое ароматическое масло, и возлила это масло Ему на голову. 8 Увидев это, ученики рассердились:
– Зачем такая трата? 9 Ведь это ароматическое масло можно было продать за большую сумму, а деньги раздать нищим.
10 Но Иса, зная, что они говорят, сказал им:
– Что вы упрекаете женщину? Ведь она сделала для Меня доброе дело. 11 Потому что нищие всегда с вами, а Я не всегда буду с вами. 12 Вылив на Меня это масло, она тем самым приготовила Меня к погребению. 13 Говорю вам истину: во всём мире, везде, где будет возвещена эта Радостная Весть, будут вспоминать об этой женщине и о том, что она сделала.
Иуда Искариот решает предать Ису Масиха(C)
14 Затем Иуда Искариот, один из двенадцати учеников, пошёл к священнослужителям 15 с предложением.
– Что вы мне дадите, если я предам вам Ису? – спросил он их. Те отсчитали ему тридцать серебряных монет.[d] 16 И с того момента Иуда стал искать удобного случая, чтобы предать Ису.
Приготовление учеников к празднику Освобождения(D)
17 В первый день праздника Пресных хлебов[e] ученики спросили Ису:
– Где нам приготовить Тебе праздничный ужин?
18 Иса ответил:
– Идите в город к такому-то и скажите ему: «Учитель говорит, что Его время уже подошло, и Он хочет в твоём доме отметить праздник Освобождения со Своими учениками».
19 Ученики сделали всё, как им велел Иса, и приготовили праздничный ужин.
Последний ужин с учениками(E)
20 Вечером Иса со Своими двенадцатью учениками возлёг у стола. 21 Когда они ели, Иса сказал:
– Говорю вам истину: один из вас предаст Меня.
22 Ученики сильно опечалились и один за другим стали спрашивать Его:
– Но ведь это не я, Повелитель?
23 А Иса сказал:
– Меня предаст тот, кто опустил руку в блюдо вместе со Мной. 24 Да, Ниспосланный как Человек уходит так, как о Нём сказано в Писании, но горе тому человеку, который предаёт Его! Лучше бы ему вообще не родиться.
25 Тогда Иуда, предатель, тоже спросил:
– Но ведь это не я, Учитель?
– Это ты так говоришь, – ответил Иса.
26 Когда они ели, Иса взял хлеб и, благословив, разломил его, дал Своим ученикам и сказал:
– Возьмите и ешьте, это Моё тело.
27 Затем Он взял чашу, поблагодарил за неё Всевышнего и подал им со словами:
– Пейте из неё все. 28 Это Моя кровь священного соглашения,[f] проливаемая за многих людей для прощения грехов. 29 Говорю вам, что Я уже не буду пить от плода виноградного до того дня, когда Я буду пить с вами новое[g] вино в Царстве Моего Отца.
Предсказание об отречении Петира(F)
30 Они спели песни из Забура[h] и пошли на Оливковую гору.
31 Тогда Иса сказал им:
– В эту ночь вы все отступитесь от Меня, ведь написано:
«Я поражу пастуха,
и разбегутся овцы стада»[i].
32 Но когда Я воскресну, то пойду в Галилею и буду ждать вас там.
33 Петир ответил:
– Даже если все Тебя оставят, я этого никогда не сделаю.
34 – Говорю тебе истину, – сказал ему Иса, – в эту ночь, прежде чем пропоёт петух, ты трижды отречёшься от Меня.
35 Но Петир уверял:
– Даже если мне придётся умереть с Тобой, я никогда не откажусь от Тебя.
То же самое говорили и все ученики.
Молитва в Гефсиманском саду(G)
36 Иса пришёл с ними на место, называемое Гефсимания, и сказал ученикам:
– Посидите здесь, а Я пойду и помолюсь.
37 Он взял с Собой Петира и двух сыновей Завдая. Его охватили тоска и тревога. 38 Тогда Он сказал им:
– Душа Моя объята смертельной печалью. Побудьте здесь и бодрствуйте со Мной.
39 Отойдя немного, Он пал на лицо Своё и молился:
– Отец Мой, если возможно, то пусть минует Меня эта чаша страданий, но да будет всё не как Я хочу, а как Ты хочешь.
40 Затем Он возвратился к ученикам и нашёл их спящими.
– Неужели вы даже часу не могли пободрствовать вместе со Мной? – спросил Он Петира. – 41 Бодрствуйте и молитесь, чтобы вам не поддаться искушению. Дух бодр, но тело слабо.
42 И во второй раз Он снова ушёл и молился:
– Отец Мой, если невозможно, чтобы эта чаша страданий миновала Меня и чтобы Мне не пить из неё, то пусть всё будет по Твоей воле.
43 Когда Он вернулся, ученики опять спали, потому что их веки отяжелели. 44 И оставив их, Иса отошёл и стал молиться в третий раз теми же словами. 45 Затем Иса возвратился к ученикам и сказал им:
– Вы всё спите и отдыхаете? Вот, время настало, и Ниспосланный как Человек предаётся в руки грешников. 46 Вставайте, идём. Вот уже и Мой предатель приблизился.
Иса Масих предан и арестован(H)
47 Он ещё говорил, как подошёл Иуда, один из двенадцати учеников, и с ним большая толпа, вооружённая мечами и кольями. Их послали главные священнослужители и старейшины народа. 48 Предатель так условился с ними:
– Хватайте Того, Кого я поцелую.
49 Иуда сразу же подошёл к Исе и сказал:
– Здравствуй, Учитель! – и поцеловал Его.
50 Иса же сказал ему:
– Друг, делай то, для чего пришёл.
Тут подошли люди и, схватив Ису, взяли Его под стражу. 51 Тогда один из тех, кто был с Исой, вытащил меч, ударил раба главного священнослужителя и отсёк ему ухо.
52 – Верни свой меч на место, – сказал ему Иса. – Все, кто берётся за меч, от меча и погибнут. 53 Неужели ты думаешь, что Я не мог бы упросить Моего Отца немедленно прислать Мне более двенадцати ангельских воинств[j]? 54 Но как же тогда исполнится Писание, что всё это должно произойти?
55 Затем Иса обратился к толпе:
– Что Я, разбойник, что вы пришли с мечами и кольями, чтобы арестовать Меня? Каждый день Я сидел и учил в храме, и вы не арестовывали Меня. 56 Но всё произошло именно так, чтобы исполнились писания пророков.
Тогда все ученики оставили Его и убежали.
На допросе у верховного священнослужителя Каиафы(I)
57 Арестовавшие Ису привели Его к верховному священнослужителю Каиафе, у которого уже собрались учители Таурата и старейшины. 58 Петир следовал за Исой на некотором расстоянии до двора верховного священнослужителя. Войдя внутрь, он сел со стражниками, чтобы увидеть, чем всё кончится. 59 Главные священнослужители и весь Высший Совет[k] искали ложных показаний против Исы, чтобы приговорить Его к смерти. 60 Но они ничего не могли найти, хотя и пришло много лжесвидетелей. Наконец вышли два человека 61 и заявили:
– Этот Человек говорил: «Я могу разрушить храм Всевышнего и восстановить его за три дня».
62 Тогда верховный священнослужитель встал и спросил Ису:
– Тебе нечего ответить на эти свидетельства против Тебя?
63 Иса молчал. Верховный священнослужитель сказал Ему:
– Я заклинаю Тебя живым Богом, если Ты обещанный Масих – Сын Всевышнего, то скажи нам.
64 – Ты сам так сказал, – ответил Иса, – но говорю вам, что отныне вы увидите «Ниспосланного как Человек сидящим по правую руку от могучего Бога и идущим на облаках небесных»[l]!
65 Тогда верховный священнослужитель в негодовании разорвал на себе одежду и сказал:
– Он кощунствует! Какие нам ещё нужны свидетели?! Вы теперь сами слышали Его кощунство! 66 Каково ваше решение?
Они ответили:
– Он виновен и заслуживает смерти.
67 Тогда Исе стали плевать в лицо и бить Его кулаками, некоторые же били Его по щекам и 68 спрашивали:
– Эй Ты, Масих! Если Ты пророк, то скажи нам, кто Тебя ударил?
Отречение Петира(J)
69 Петир же сидел снаружи, во дворе, когда к нему подошла служанка.
– Ты тоже был с Исой Галилеянином, – сказала она.
70 Но Петир отрицал перед всеми:
– Я не знаю, о чём ты говоришь.
71 Когда он отошёл к воротам, его увидела другая служанка. Она сказала стоявшим рядом:
– Этот человек был с Исой Назарянином.
72 Петир снова всё отрицал, поклявшись, что он не знает Этого Человека. 73 Но спустя немного времени стоявшие там люди подошли и сказали ему:
– Точно, ты тоже один из них, тебя и говор твой выдаёт.
74 Тогда Петир начал клясться, призывая на себя проклятия:
– Я не знаю Этого Человека!
И тотчас пропел петух. 75 И тогда Петир вспомнил слова Исы: «Прежде чем пропоёт петух, ты трижды отречёшься от Меня».
И выйдя наружу, он горько заплакал.

Matthew 26
King James Version
26 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
