Matthew 26:63-75 ▼

63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure Thee by the living God, that Thou tell us whether Thou art the Christ, the Son of God"

64 Jesus saith to him, "You said it: nevertheless I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

65 Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, "He blasphemed! What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, ye just now heard the blasphemy!

66 What think ye?" And they, answering, said, "He is worthy of death."

67 Then did they spit in His face, and buffet Him. And others smote Him ,

68 saying, "Prophesy to us, O Christ, who is he that struck Thee?"

69 And Peter was sitting without, in the court; and a certain maid-servant approached him, saying, "And you were with Jesus the Galilaean!"

70 But he denied before them all, saying, "I know not what you are saying."

71 And another maid saw him, when he walked out into the porch, and says to those there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."

72 And again he denied with an oath, "I do not know the Man."

73 And after a little while, those who stood by, having come, said to Peter, "Truly you also are one of them; for even your speech makes you manifest."

74 Then began he to curse and swear, "I do not know the Man." And straight-way a cock crowed.

75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, saying, "Before a cock crows, you will thrice deny Me." And, going forth without, he wept bitterly.
