Matthew 26:63-75 ▼

63 And Jesus was silent; and the high priest responding said to Him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

64 Jesus says to him, Thou didst say it. Moreover I say unto you, that, Hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

65 Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, He blasphemed: why have we yet need of witnesses? behold, now you heard His blasphemy:

66 what seems to you? They responding said, He is worthy of death.

67 They spat in His face, and buffeted Him: and they slapped Him,

68 saying, Prophesy unto us, who is the one smiting thee?

69 And Peter was sitting without in the court. And a certain maidservant came to him, saying, Truly, thou wast with Jesus the Galilean.

70 And he denied before all, I know not what you say.

71 And another maidservant saw him, having come to the gate, and says to them there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.

72 And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.

73 And after a little the bystanders coming to Peter, said, Truly, thou art also one of them, for indeed thy speech betrays thee.

74 Then he began to anathematize and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus having spoken to him, That before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And having gone out, he wept bitterly.
