Luke 22:57-71 ▼

57 But Peter denied Him. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.

58 A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

59 About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

60 “Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

62 And Peter went outside and wept bitterly.

63 The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.

64 They blindfolded Him and kept striking Him in the face and demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”

65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.

66 At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin and said,

67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.

68 And if I ask you a question, you will not answer Me nor release Me.

69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

70 So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

71 “Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
