"You too were with Jesus the Galilaean."
026:070 He denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you mean." 026:071 Soon afterwards he went out and stood in the gateway, when another girl saw him, and said, addressing the people there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene." 026:072 Again he denied it with an oath. "I do not know the man," he said. 026:073 A short time afterwards the people standing there came and said to Peter, "Certainly you too are one of them, for your brogue shows it." 026:074 Then with curses and oaths he declared, "I do not know the man." Immediately a cock crowed, 026:075 and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, how He had said, "Before the cock crows you will three times disown me." And he went out and wept aloud, bitterly. 027:001 When morning came all the High Priests and the Elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put Him to death; 027:002 and binding Him they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate the Governor. 027:003 Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned, smitten with remorse he brought back the thirty shekels to the High Priests and Elders 027:004 and said, "I have sinned, in betraying to death one who is innocent." "What does that matter to us?" they replied; it is your business." 027:005 Flinging the shekels into the Sanctuary he left the place, and went and hanged himself. 027:006 When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, "It is illegal to put it into the Treasury, because it is the price of blood." |
