John 18:15-27 ▼

15 And Simon Peter and the other disciples followed Jesus. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and came with Jesus into the court of the high priest.

16 And Peter stood without at the door. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came out and spoke to the porter, and led in Peter.

17 And then the maidservant porter says to Peter, Art thou not one of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.

18 And the servants and officers, having made a fire; because it was cold; were standing by it, and warming. And Peter was standing with them, and warming.

19 Then the high priest asked Jesus concerning His disciples and concerning His teaching.

20 And Jesus said to him, I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.

21 Why do you ask me? ask those who have heard, what I said to them: behold, they know what I said.

22 And He speaking these things, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a slap, saying, Do you thus answer the high priest?

23 Jesus responded to him, If I spoke wickedly, witness concerning the wickedness: but if beautifully, why do you smite me?

24 Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

25 And Simon Peter was standing and warming: and they said to him, Art thou not one of His disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.

26 And one of the servants of the chief priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did I not see thee in the garden with Him?

27 Then Peter again denied, and immediately the cock crew.
