Mark 14:60-72 ▼

60 Then the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus saying, Answerest thou nothing? what do these men witness against thee?

61 but he held his peace, and made him no answer. So the high priest asked Him again, and saith to Him, Art thou the Messiah the Son of the blessed God?

62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

63 Then the high priest rent his clothes and said, What farther need have we of witnesses?

64 ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? and they all condemned Him as worthy of death.

65 And they spit upon Him, and blind-folded Him, and then buffeted Him and said to Him, prophesy who it was: and the officers struck him with their rods.

66 And Peter being in the hall below, there came one of the maid-servants of the high priest;

67 and when she saw Peter as he was warming himself, she looked earnestly upon him and said, Thou also wast with Jesus the Nazarene:

68 but he denied it, saying, I do not know Him, nor do I understand what thou meanest. And he went out into the porch, and the cock crew.

69 And the maid seeing him again said to them that stood by, This is one of them: and he denied it again.

70 And a little after, they that stood by, said to Peter again, Thou art certainly one of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is like theirs.

71 But he began to curse and swear saying, I do not know this man of whom ye speak: And the cock crowed a second time.

72 Then Peter called to mind the word which Jesus had said to him, Before the cock crow twice thou wilt deny me thrice. And he covered his face and wept.
