Matthew 26:62-75 ▼

62 So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?

63 But Jesus (YHWH saves) remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God {Theou}: Tell us if You are the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God.

64 “You have said it yourself, Jesus (YHWH saves) answered. “But I say to all of you⁺, from now on you⁺ will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power (the right hand of the Mighty One) and coming on the clouds of heaven .”

65 At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look (behold), now you⁺ have heard the blasphemy.

66 What do you⁺ think? “He deserves to die, they answered.

67 Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him

68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ (the Anointed One)! Who hit You?

69 Meanwhile, Peter (rock) was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus (YHWH saves) the Galilean, she said.

70 But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.

71 When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus (YHWH saves) of Nazareth (branch).

72 And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!

73 After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter (rock). “Surely you are one of them, they said, “for your accent gives you away.

74 At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man! And immediately a rooster crowed.

75 Then Peter (rock) remembered the word that Jesus (YHWH saves) had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times. And he went outside and wept bitterly.
