57 but he renounc'd Jesus, saying, woman, I don't know him. 58 a little while after another seeing him, said, you are even one of them, but Peter said to him, man, I am not. 59 about an hour after another confidently affirm'd, saying, this fellow was certainly with him; for he too is a Galilean. 60 Peter reply'd, man, I don't know what you would say, and immediately while he was yet speaking, the cock crew. 61 whereupon the Lord turned about, and look'd upon Peter, then Peter remembred what the Lord had said to him, "before the cock-crowing you shall deny me thrice." 62 and Peter went out, and wept bitterly. 63 In the mean time, they who held Jesus, treated him with insults and buffoonry. 64 they made him blind-fold, they slapt him on the face, and cry'd out, divine who it was that smote thee. 65 and besides all this, they loaded him with the most impious invectives. 66 As soon as it was day, the rulers of the people, the chief priests and the Scribes being assembled, they order'd him to be brought before their council, 67 and said to him, if you are the Christ, say so, but he answer'd, if I should tell you so, you will not believe it. 68 and if I should argue it with you, you will neither answer me, nor let me go. 69 but in a little time the son of man shall be seated on the powerful right hand of God. 70 then said they all, art thou then the son of God? you are in the right, answer'd he, for I am so. 71 upon this they cry'd, what occasion have we for further evidence? for we ourselves have heard enough from his own mouth.
