Luke 22:47–71

⁴⁷As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him.

⁴⁸And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

⁵⁰And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.

⁵²And Jesus said to the chief priests and magistrates of the temple and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs?

⁵³When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour and the power of darkness.

⁵⁴And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off.

⁵⁵And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall and were sitting about it, Peter was in the midst of them.

⁵⁶Whom when a certain servant maid had seen sitting at the light and had earnestly beheld him, she said: This man also was with him.

⁵⁷But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not.

⁵⁸And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am not.

⁵⁹And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man was also with him: for he is also a Galilean.

⁶⁰And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew.

⁶¹And the Lord turning looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he had said: Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny thrice.

⁶²And Peter going out, wept bitterly.

⁶³And the men that held him mocked him and struck him.

⁶⁴And they blindfolded him and smote his face. And they asked him saying: Prophesy: Who is it that struck thee?

⁶⁵And blaspheming, many other things they said against him.

⁶⁶And as soon as it was day, the ancients of the people and the chief priests and scribes came together. And they brought him into their council saying: If thou be the Christ, tell us.

⁶⁷And he saith to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me.

⁶⁸And if I shall also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go.

⁶⁹But hereafter the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.

⁷⁰Then said they all: Art thou then the Son of God? Who said: You say that I am.

⁷¹And they said: What need we any further testimony? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.
