¹⁵And Simon Peter followed Jesus: and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.

¹⁶But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the portress and brought in Peter.

¹⁷The maid therefore that was portress saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man’s disciple? He saith I am not.

¹⁸Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing and warming himself.

¹⁹The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples and of his doctrine.

²⁰Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort: and in secret I have spoken nothing.

²¹Why askest thou me? Ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them. Behold they know what things I have said.

²²And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?

²³Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?

²⁴And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.

²⁵And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it and said: I am not.

²⁶One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

²⁷Again therefore Peter denied: and immediately the cock crew.
