Matthew 26:66

64 Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, ^ahereafter you will see the Son of Man ^bsitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65 ^aThen the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His ^bblasphemy!

66 What do you think?” They answered and said, ^a“He is deserving of death.”

67 ^aThen they spat in His face and beat Him; and ^bothers struck Him with the palms of their hands,

68 saying, ^a“Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”

Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly

69 ^aNow Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.”

70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”
