| 63But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.” | 63But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God." |
| 64“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” | 64Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN." |
| 65At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses?

| 72And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!” | 72And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man." |
| 73After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.” | 73A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away." |
