Jesus
Before The Sanhedrin
And while he yet spake,
behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before
them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said unto him, Judas,
betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? When they which were about him saw
what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? And
one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And
Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed
him.
Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the
elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords
and staves? When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands
against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house.
And Peter followed afar off. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of
the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. But a certain
maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said,
This man was also with him. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And
Peter said, Man, I am not. And about the space of one hour after another
confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he
is a Galilaean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And
immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. And the Lord turned, and looked
upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him,
Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept
bitterly.
And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. And when they had
blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy,
who is it that smote thee? And many other things blasphemously spake they
against him.
And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and
the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, Art thou the
Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: And
if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. Hereafter shall the Son
of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. Then said they all, Art thou
then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. And they said,
What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
