Part 22

41:014:048 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

41:014:049 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

41:014:050 And they all forsook him, and fled.

41:014:051 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:

41:014:052 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

41:014:053 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

41:014:054 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

41:014:055 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

41:014:056 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

41:014:057 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

41:014:058 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

41:014:059 But neither so did their witness agree together.

41:014:060 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

41:014:061 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?

41:014:062 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.

41:014:063 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?

41:014:064 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

41:014:065 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.

41:014:066 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:

41:014:067 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

41:014:068 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

41:014:069 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

41:014:070 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.

41:014:071 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

41:014:072 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

41:015:001 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

41:015:002 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

41:015:003 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
