Mark 14:63-72 ▼

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

64 Ye have heard his blasphemy. What think ye? And they all adjudged him to be deserving of death.

65 And some began to spit upon him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the servants slapped him on the face with their hands.

66 And as Peter was in the hall, at the lower end, there came to him one of the high-priest's maid-servants:

67 and seeing Peter warming himself, stedfastly looking at him, she said, Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

68 Then he denied it, saying, I do not so much as know him, nor understand what thou art saying. And he went out into the vestibule; and the cock crew.

69 And a maid-servant observing him again; began to say to those who stood by, This man is one of them.

70 Then he denied it again. And after a little while, they who stood by said to Peter, Of a certainty thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is correspondent.

71 Then began he to make the most dreadful imprecations, and to swear, I know not the man of whom ye speak.

72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus spake unto him, That before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And casting his mantle over his face, he wept.
