Jesus Before His Accusers

Then they led Jesus away to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes *gathered together.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:54 - And Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the [fn]officers and warming himself at the [fn]fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:55 - Now the chief priests and the whole [fn]Sanhedrin were seeking to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:57 - And some, standing up, were giving false testimony against Him, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:58 - “We ourselves heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this [fn]sanctuary made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:59 - And not even in this way was their testimony consistent.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:60 - And the high priest stood up in their midst and questioned Jesus, saying, “You answer nothing? What are these men testifying against You?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:61 - But He kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him and *said to Him, “Are You the [fn]Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:62 - And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:63 - And tearing his tunics, the high priest *said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:64 - “You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:65 - And some began to spit at Him, and [fn]to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers [fn]received Him with [fn]slaps in the face.

And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest *came,

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:67 - and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and *said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:68 - But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.” And he went out into the entryway.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:69 - And when the servant-girl saw him, she began once more to say to the bystanders, “This is one of them!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:70 - But again he was denying it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are also a Galilean.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:71 - But he began to [fn]curse and swear, “I do not know this man you are talking about!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:72 - And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said the statement to him, “Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” [fn]And throwing himself down, he began to cry.
