stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying:

"Answerest thou nothing? What is it which these witness against thee?"

But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest
asked him, and said unto him:

"Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

And Jesus said, "I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the
right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."

Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, "What need we any
further witnesses? Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye?" And
they all condemned him to be guilty of death. And some began to spit
on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him,
"Prophesy:" and the servants did strike him with the palms of their
hands.

And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids
of the high priest: and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked
upon him, and said, "And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth." But
he denied, saying, "I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest."
And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, "This
is one of them." And he denied it again. And a little after, they
that stood by said again to Peter, "Surely thou art one of them: for
thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto." But he began to
curse and to swear, saying, "I know not this man of whom ye speak."
