Mark 14:60-72 ▼

60 And the chief priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying: Do you make no answer? What do these testify against you?

61 But he was silent, and made no answer. Again, the chief priest asked him, and said to him: Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

62 Jesus replied: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

63 And the chief priest rent his clothes, and said: What further need have we of witnesses?

64 You have heard his impious speech. What think you? They all condemned him to be a subject of death.

65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him with their fists, and to say to him: Give a response. And the attendants struck him with their open hands.

66 And while Peter was in the court below, one of the maid servants of the chief priest came;

67 and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said: You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.

68 But he denied, saying: I neither know, nor understand what you say. And he went out into the entrance, and the cock crew.

69 And the maid-servant saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by: This man is one of them.

70 He again denied. And again, after a little while, those who stood by said to Peter: Surely, you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech is like theirs.

71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of whom you speak.

72 And immediately the cock crew the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times. And when he thought upon it, he wept.
