15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and came together with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest. 16 And Peter stood before the door without. Then went out the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and spake to her guarding the door, and brought in Peter. 17 Then says the young girl guarding the door to Peter, Art not thou also of this man's disciples? He says, I am not. 18 And the servants and attendants stood, having made a heap of burning coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself. 19 Then the chief priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret. 21 Why askest thou me? ask those having heard, what I said to them: see, they know what I said. 22 And he having said these things, one of the attendants standing by gave Jesus a blow with a rod, having said, Answerest thou the chief priest so? 23 Jesus answered him, If I spake badly, testify of evil: and if well, why strikest thou me? 24 (Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.) 25 And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art thou not also of his disciples he denied, and said, I am not. 26 Says one of the chief priest's servants, being of his family whose ear Peter cut off, Saw I not thee in the garden with him? 27 Then Peter again denied: and quickly the cock uttered a sound.
