Luke 22:52-71 ▼

52 Jesus said to the high priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders who were assembled to Him; You have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs.

53 I being daily with you in the temple, you reached not out your hands unto me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

54 And taking Him, they led Him away, and led Him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter followed Him a long way off.

55 And having lighted a fire in the midst of the court, and they sitting together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them.

56 And a certain maidservant, seeing him sitting at the fire, and fixing her eyes on him, said, This man was with Him.

57 And he denied Him, saying, Woman, I know Him not.

58 And after a brief interval another seeing him, said, Truly, thou art one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

59 And about one hour having elapsed, a certain other man accosted him, saying, He was truly with Him: for he is a Galilean.

60 And Peter said, Man, I know Him not. And immediately, he yet speaking, the cock crew.

61 And the Lord turning, looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He said to him, that, Before the cock shall crow thou shalt deny me thrice.

62 And having gone out, he wept bitterly.

63 And the men having Him, began to mock, beating Him,

64 and covering Him, they continued to ask saying, Prophesy, who is the one smiting thee.

65 And blaspheming, they continued to speak many other things against Him.

66 And when it was day, the eldership of the people was convened, and the chief priests and scribes, and they led Him into their sanhedrim.

67 Saying, If thou art the Christ, tell us. And He said to them, If I may tell you, you will not believe:

68 and if indeed I will ask you, you will not respond to me, or release me.

69 And from now the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.

70 And all said, Art thou the Son of God? And He said to them, You say that I am.

71 And they said, Why have we yet need of testimony? for we heard from His own mouth.
