John 18:15-27 ▼

15 And Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;

16 But Peter was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spake to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

17 The maiden door-keeper, therefore, says to Peter, Are you also one of this Man's disciples?" He says, "I am not."

18 And the servants and the officers were standing there , having made a fire of coals (because it was cold), and were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

19 The high priest, therefore, asked Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning His teaching.

20 Jesus answered, "I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble together; and in secret I spake nothing.

21 Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard, what I spake to them; behold, they know the things which I said."

22 And, when He had said this, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a blow with a rod, saying, "Dost Thou answer the high priest thus!"

23 Jesus answered him, "If I spake evil, testify concerning the evil; but, if well, why do you beat Me?"

24 Annas, therefore, sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

25 And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said, therefore, to him, "Are you also one of His disciples?" He denied, and said, "I am not."

26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, "Did not I see you in the garden with Him?"

27 Again, therefore, Peter denied; and straightway a cock crowed.
