Old/New Testament

⁵⁴ And Peter followed him a great way off, right into the palace courtyard of the high priest, and sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

⁵⁵ And the high priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus, to put him to death, and found none. ⁵⁶ Yet many bore false witness against him, but their testimonies did not agree together. ⁵⁷ And certain men arose and brought false witness against him, saying, ⁵⁸ We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. ⁵⁹ But their testimonies did not agree together.

⁶⁰ And the highest priest stood up amongst them and asked Jesus, saying, Do you answer nothing? How is it that these men bear witness against you? ⁶¹ And he held his peace and answered nothing. Again the highest priest asked him and said to him, Are you Christ, the Son of the Blessed? ⁶² And Jesus said, I am; and you will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of heaven.

⁶³ Then the highest priest tore his clothes and said, Why do we need any further witnesses? ⁶⁴ You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?

And they all gave sentence that he was worthy of death. ⁶⁵ And some began to spit at him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to say to him, Prophesy to us! And the servants struck him on the face.

⁶⁶ And as Peter was below in the interior courtyard, there came one of the servant girls of the highest priest. ⁶⁷ When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked on him and said, Were you not also with Jesus of Nazareth? ⁶⁸ And he denied it, saying, I do not know him, or understand what you are saying. And he went out into the porch, and the cock crew. ⁶⁹ And a maidservant saw him and again began to say to those who stood by, This is one of them. ⁷⁰ And he denied it again. And soon after, those standing by said again to Peter, Surely you are one of them, for you are from Galilee and your speech is the same. ⁷¹ And he began to curse and to swear, saying, I do not know this man of whom you speak. ⁷² And again the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him – Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times – and he began to weep.
