Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly
54 aHaving arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest’s house. bBut Peter followed at a distance.
55 aNow when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56 And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man was also with Him.”
57 But he denied1 Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”
58 aAnd after a little while another saw him and said, “You also are of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
59 aThen after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a bGalilean.”
60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!” Immediately, while he was still speaking,1 the rooster crowed.
61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then aPeter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, b“Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
62 So Peter went out and wept bitterly.
Jesus Mocked and Beaten
63 aNow the men who held Jesus mocked Him and bbeat Him.
64 1And having blindfolded Him, they astruck Him on the face and asked Him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck You?”
