Matthew 26:63-75 ▼

63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I adjure you by the living God that You tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”

64 Jesus says to him, “You said it. But I say to you?, from now you? will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming upon the clouds of heaven.”

65 Then the high priest tears his garments, saying, “He blasphemed! Why do we have any more need of witnesses? Behold, now you? heard the blasphemy.

66 What do you? think?” And answering, they said, “He is deserving of death.”

67 Then they spat in His face and struck Him. And others slapped Him,

68 saying, “Prophesy to us, Christ. Who is the one having struck You?”

69 And Peter was sitting outside in the court, and one servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”

70 And he denied it before all, saying, “I do not know what you say.”

71 And having gone out to the gateway, another saw him and says to those there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

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

73 And after a little while, those standing by, having come, said to Peter, “Truly you are of them also, for even your speech makes you evident.”

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

75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, He having said, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And having gone out, he wept bitterly.
