Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? (22:52)

When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness (22:53)

Then took they him, and led [him], and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off (22:54)

And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them (22:55)

But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him (22:56)

And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not (22:57)

And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not (22:58)

And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this [fellow] also was with him: for he is a Galilaean (22:59)

And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. (22:60) com1

And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. (22:61) com2

And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. (22:62) com3

And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote [him]. (22:63) com4

And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? (22:64)

And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. (22:65)

And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, (22:66) com7

Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: (22:67)

And if I also ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor let [me] go (22:68)

Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God (22:69)

Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. (22:70)

And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth. (22:71)
