Luke 22:55–71

55 dNow 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 denied 7Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”

58 eAnd after a little while another saw him and said, “You also are of them.”

But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

59 fThen after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a gGalilean.”

60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!”

Immediately, while he was still speaking, 8the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then hPeter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, i“Before the rooster 9crows, you will deny Me three times.” 62 So Peter went out and wept bitterly.

63 jNow the men who held Jesus mocked Him and kbeat Him. 64 1And having blindfolded Him, they lstruck Him on the face and asked Him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck You?” 65 And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him.

The Sanhedrin Tries Christ

Matt. 27:1; Mark 15:1

66 mAs soon as it was day, nthe elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying, 67 o“If You are the Christ, tell us.”

But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will pby no means believe. 68 And if I 2also ask you, you will by no means answer 3Me or let Me go. 69 qHereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.”

70 Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?”

So He said to them, r“You rightly say that I am.”

71 sAnd they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.”
