خطة قتل يسوع

1وَكَانَ الْفِصْحُ وَأَيَّامُ الْفَطِيرِ بَعْدَ يَوْمَيْنِ. وَكَانَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةُ يَطْلُبُونَ كَيْفَ يُمْسِكُونَهُ بِمَكْرٍ وَيَقْتُلُونَهُ،2وَلَكِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: لَيْسَ فِي الْعِيدِ، لِئَلاَّ يَكُونَ شَغَبٌ فِي الشَّعْبِ.

تكْفِين يسوع بالعطر

3وَفِيمَا هُوَ فِي بَيْتِ عَنْيَا فِي بَيْتِ سِمْعَانَ الأَبْرَصِ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ، جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا قَارُورَةُ طِيبِ نَارِدِينٍ خَالِصٍ كَثِيرِ الثَّمَنِ. فَكَسَرَتِ الْقَارُورَةَ وَسَكَبَتْهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ.4وَكَانَ قَوْمٌ مُغْتَاظِينَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوا: لِمَاذَا كَانَ تَلَفُ الطِّيبِ هَذَا؟5لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُبَاعَ هَذَا بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَلاَثِمِئَةِ دِينَارٍ وَيُعْطَى لِلْفُقَرَاءِ، وَكَانُوا يُؤَنِّبُونَهَا.6أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَقَالَ: اتْرُكُوهَا، لِمَاذَا تُزْعِجُونَهَا؟ قَدْ عَمِلَتْ بِي عَمَلاً حَسَناً.7لأَنَّ الْفُقَرَاءَ مَعَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ وَمَتَى أَرَدْتُمْ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهِمْ خَيْراً، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ مَعَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ.8عَمِلَتْ مَا عِنْدَهَا، قَدْ سَبَقَتْ وَدَهَنَتْ بِالطِّيبِ جَسَدِي لِلتَّكْفِينِ.9اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: حَيْثُمَا يُكْرَزْ بِهَذَا الإِنْجِيلِ فِي كُلِّ الْعَالَمِ يُخْبَرْ أَيْضاً بِمَا فَعَلَتْهُ هَذِهِ تِذْكَاراً لَهَا.

يهوذا يخطط خيانة يسوع

10ثُمَّ إِنَّ يَهُوذَا الإِسْخَرْيُوطِيَّ، وَاحِداً مِنَ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، مَضَى إِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ لِيُسَلِّمَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ.11وَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا فَرِحُوا وَوَعَدُوهُ أَنْ يُعْطُوهُ فِضَّةً. وَكَانَ يَطْلُبُ كَيْفَ يُسَلِّمُهُ فِي فُرْصَةٍ مُوافِقَةٍ.

12وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الْفَطِيرِ، حِينَ كَانُوا يَذْبَحُونَ الْفِصْحَ، قَالَ لَهُ تَلاَمِيذُهُ: أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ نَمْضِيَ وَنُعِدَّ لِتَأْكُلَ الْفِصْحَ؟13فَأَرْسَلَ اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ تَلاَمِيذِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: اذْهَبَا إِلَى المَدِينَةِ فَيُلاَقِيَكُمَا إِنْسَانٌ حَامِلٌ جَرَّةَ مَاءٍ. اِتْبَعَاهُ،14وَحَيْثُمَا يَدْخُلْ فَقُولاَ لِرَبِّ الْبَيْتِ، إِنَّ المُعَلِّمَ يَقُولُ: أَيْنَ المَنْزِلُ حَيْثُ آكُلُ الْفِصْحَ مَعَ تَلاَمِيذِي؟15فَهُوَ يُرِيكُمَا عُلِّيَّةً كَبِيرَةً مَفْرُوشَةً مُعَدَّةً، هُنَاكَ أَعِدَّا لَنَا.16فَخَرَجَ تِلْمِيذَاهُ وَأَتَيَا إِلَى المَدِينَةِ وَوَجَدَا كَمَا قَالَ لَهُمَا، فَأَعَدَّا الْفِصْحَ.

خيانة يسوع

17وَلَمَّا كَانَ المَسَاءُ جَاءَ مَعَ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.18وَفِيمَا هُمْ مُتَّكِئُونَ يَأْكُلُونَ قَالَ يَسُوعُ: الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ وَاحِداً مِنْكُمْ يُسَلِّمُنِي، اَلآكِلُ مَعِي.19فَابْتَدَأُوا يَحْزَنُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ وَاحِداً فَوَاحِداً: هَلْ أَنَا؟ وَآخَرُ: هَلْ أَنَا؟20فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: هُوَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ الَّذِي يَغْمِسُ مَعِي فِي الصَّحْفَةِ.21إِنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ مَاضٍ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنْهُ، وَلَكِنْ وَيْلٌ لِذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي بِهِ يُسَلَّمُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ، كَانَ خَيْراً لِذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ لَوْ لَمْ يُولَدْ.

22وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ خُبْزاً وَبَارَكَ وَكَسَّرَ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ وَقَالَ: خُذُوا، كُلُوا، هَذَا هُوَ جَسَدِي.23ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الْكَأْسَ وَشَكَرَ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ، فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهَا كُلُّهُمْ.24وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: هَذَا هُوَ دَمِي الَّذِي لِلْعَهْدِ الْجَدِيدِ الَّذِي يُسْفَكُ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَثِيرِينَ.25اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنِّي لاَ أَشْرَبُ بَعْدُ مِنْ نِتَاجِ الْكَرْمَةِ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ حِينَمَا أَشْرَبُهُ جَدِيداً فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ.26ثُمَّ سَبَّحُوا وَخَرَجُوا إِلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ.

27وَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: إِنَّ كُلَّكُمْ تَشُكُّونَ فِيَّ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ، لأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: "أَنِّي أَضْرِبُ الرَّاعِيَ فَتَتَبَدَّدُ الْخِرَافُ".28وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ قِيَامِي أَسْبِقُكُمْ إِلَى الْجَلِيلِ.29فَقَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: وَإِنْ شَكَّ الْجَمِيعُ فَأَنَا لاَ أَشُكُّ.30فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ مَرَّتَيْنِ، تُنْكِرُنِي ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ.31فَقَالَ بِأَكْثَرِ تَشْدِيدٍ: وَلَوِ اضْطُرِرْتُ أَنْ أَمُوتَ مَعَكَ لاَ أُنْكِرُكَ. وَهَكَذَا قَالَ أَيْضاً الْجَمِيعُ.

يسوع يستسلم لإرادة الله الآب

32وَجَاءُوا إِلَى ضَيْعَةٍ اسْمُهَا جَثْسَيْمَانِي فَقَالَ لِتَلاَمِيذِهِ: اجْلِسُوا هَهُنَا حَتَّى أُصَلِّيَ.33ثُمَّ أَخَذَ مَعَهُ بُطْرُسَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا وَابْتَدَأَ يَدْهَشُ وَيَكْتَئِبُ.34فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: نَفْسِي حَزِينَةٌ جِدّاً حَتَّى المَوْتِ، اُمْكُثُوا هُنَا وَاسْهَرُوا.35ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ قَلِيلاً وَخَرَّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي لِكَيْ تَعْبُرَ عَنْهُ السَّاعَةُ إِنْ أَمْكَنَ،36وَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا الآبُ، كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُسْتَطَاعٌ لَكَ، فَأَجِزْ عَنِّي هَذِهِ الْكَأْسَ، وَلَكِنْ لِيَكُنْ لاَ مَا أُرِيدُ أَنَا بَلْ مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْتَ.37ثُمَّ جَاءَ وَوَجَدَهُمْ نِيَاماً فَقَالَ لِبُطْرُسَ: يَا سِمْعَانُ، أَنْتَ نَائِمٌ؟ أَمَا قَدِرْتَ أَنْ تَسْهَرَ سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً؟38اِسْهَرُوا وَصَلُّوا لِئَلاَّ تَدْخُلُوا فِي تَجْرِبَةٍ، أَمَّا الرُّوحُ فَنَشِيطٌ وَأَمَّا الْجَسَدُ فَضَعِيفٌ.39وَمَضَى أَيْضاً وَصَلَّى قَائِلاً ذَلِكَ الْكَلاَمَ بِعَيْنِهِ.40ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَوَجَدَهُمْ أَيْضاً نِيَاماً إِذْ كَانَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ ثَقِيلَةً فَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا بِمَاذَا يُجِيبُونَهُ.41ثُمَّ جَاءَ ثَالِثَةً وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: نَامُوا الآنَ وَاسْتَرِيحُوا، يَكْفِي، قَدْ أَتَتِ السَّاعَةُ. هُوَذَا ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَى أَيْدِي الْخُطَاةِ.42قُومُوا لِنَذْهَبَ، هُوَذَا الَّذِي يُسَلِّمُنِي قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ.

إعتقال يسوع

43وَلِلْوَقْتِ فِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ أَقْبَلَ يَهُوذَا، وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، وَمَعَهُ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ بِسُيُوفٍ وَعِصِيٍّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةِ وَالشُّيُوخِ.44وَكَانَ مُسَلِّمُهُ قَدْ أَعْطَاهُمْ عَلاَمَةً قَائِلاً: الَّذِي أُقَبِّلُهُ هُوَ هُوَ، أَمْسِكُوهُ وَامْضُوا بِهِ بِحِرْصٍ.45فَجَاءَ لِلْوَقْتِ وَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: يَا سَيِّدِي، يَا سَيِّدِي، وَقَبَّلَهُ.46فَأَلْقَوْا أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَأَمْسَكُوهُ.47فَاسْتَلَّ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الْحَاضِرِينَ السَّيْفَ وَضَرَبَ عَبْدَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ فَقَطَعَ أُذُنَهُ.

48فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: كَأَنَّهُ عَلَى لِصٍّ خَرَجْتُمْ بِسُيُوفٍ وَعِصِيٍّ لِتَأْخُذُونِي.49كُلَّ يَوْمٍ كُنْتُ مَعَكُمْ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ أُعَلِّمُ وَلَمْ تُمْسِكُونِي، وَلَكِنْ لِكَيْ تُكْمَلَ الْكُتُبُ.50فَتَرَكَهُ الْجَمِيعُ وَهَرَبُوا.51وَتَبِعَهُ شَابٌّ لاَبِساً إِزَاراً عَلَى عُرْيِهِ، فَأَمْسَكَهُ الشُّبَّانُ.52فَتَرَكَ الإِزَارَ وَهَرَبَ مِنْهُمْ عُرْيَاناً.

53فَمَضَوْا بِيَسُوعَ إِلَى رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ فَاجْتَمَعَ مَعَهُ جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ وَالْكَتَبَةُ.54وَكَانَ بُطْرُسُ قَدْ تَبِعَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ إِلَى دَاخِلِ دَارِ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَكَانَ جَالِساً بَيْنَ الْخُدَّامِ يَسْتَدْفِئُ عِنْدَ النَّارِ.55وَكَانَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالمَجْمَعُ كُلُّهُ يَطْلُبُونَ شَهَادَةً عَلَى يَسُوعَ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا،56لأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ شَهِدُوا عَلَيْهِ زُوراً وَلَمْ تَتَّفِقْ شَهَادَاتُهُمْ.57ثُمَّ قَامَ قَوْمٌ وَشَهِدُوا عَلَيْهِ زُوراً قَائِلِينَ:58نَحْنُ سَمِعْنَاهُ يَقُولُ: إِنِّي أَنْقُضُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ المَصْنُوعَ بِالأَيَادِي وَفِي ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَبْنِي آخَرَ غَيْرَ مَصْنُوعٍ بِأَيَادٍ.59وَلاَ بِهَذَا كَانَتْ شَهَادَتُهُمْ تَتَّفِقُ.60فَقَامَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ فِي الْوَسَطِ وَسَأَلَ يَسُوعَ: أَمَا تُجِيبُ بِشَيْءٍ؟ مَاذَا يَشْهَدُ بِهِ هَؤُلاَءِ عَلَيْكَ؟61أَمَّا هُوَ فَكَانَ سَاكِتاً وَلَمْ يُجِبْ بِشَيْءٍ. فَسَأَلَهُ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ أَيْضاً وَقَالَ لَهُ: أَأَنْتَ المَسِيحُ، ابْنُ المُبَارَكِ؟62فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: أَنَا هُوَ، وَسَوْفَ تُبْصِرُونَ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ جَالِساً عَنْ يَمِينِ الْقُوَّةِ وَآتِياً فِي سَحَابِ السَّمَاءِ.63فَمَزَّقَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ ثِيَابَهُ وَقَالَ: مَا حَاجَتُنَا بَعْدُ إِلَى شُهُودٍ؟64قَدْ سَمِعْتُمُ التَّجَادِيفَ، مَا رَأْيُكُمْ؟ فَالْجَمِيعُ حَكَمُوا عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ مُسْتَوْجِبُ المَوْتِ.65فَابْتَدَأَ قَوْمٌ يَبْصُقُونَ عَلَيْهِ وَيُغَطُّونَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَلْكُمُونَهُ وَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ: تَنَبَّأْ، وَكَانَ الْخُدَّامُ يَلْطِمُونَهُ.

بطرس يُنكر يسوع

66وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ بُطْرُسُ فِي الدَّارِ أَسْفَلَ جَاءَتْ إِحْدَى جَوَارِي رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ،67فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ بُطْرُسَ يَسْتَدْفِئُ نَظَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَتْ: وَأَنْتَ كُنْتَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيِّ.68فَأَنْكَرَ قَائِلاً: لَسْتُ أَدْرِي وَلاَ أَفْهَمُ مَا تَقُولِينَ، وَخَرَجَ خَارِجاً إِلَى الدِّهْلِيزِ، فَصَاحَ الدِّيكُ.69فَرَأَتْهُ الْجَارِيَةُ أَيْضاً وَابْتَدَأَتْ تَقُولُ لِلْحَاضِرِينَ: إِنَّ هَذَا مِنْهُمْ.70فَأَنْكَرَ أَيْضاً. وَبَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ أَيْضاً قَالَ الْحَاضِرُونَ لِبُطْرُسَ: حَقّاً أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ، لأَنَّكَ جَلِيلِيٌّ أَيْضاً وَلُغَتُكَ تُشْبِهُ لُغَتَهُمْ.71فَابْتَدَأَ يَلْعَنُ وَيَحْلِفُ: إِنِّي لاَ أَعْرِفُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي تَقُولُونَ عَنْهُ.72وَصَاحَ الدِّيكُ ثَانِيَةً، فَتَذَكَّرَ بُطْرُسُ الْقَوْلَ الَّذِي قَالَهُ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: إِنَّكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ مَرَّتَيْنِ تُنْكِرُنِي ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ. فَلَمَّا تَفَكَّرَ بِهِ بَكَى.

1After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.2But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.3And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.4And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?5For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.6And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.7For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.8She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.9Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.10And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.11And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.12And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?13And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.14And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?15And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.16And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.17And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.18And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.19And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?20And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.21The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.22And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.23And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.24And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.25Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.26And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.27And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.28But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.29But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.30And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.31But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.32And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.33And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;34And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.35And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.36And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.37And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?38Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.39And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.40And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.41And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.42Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.43And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priest and the scribes and the elders.44And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.45And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.46And they laid their hands on him, and took him.47And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.48And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.50And they all forsook him, and fled.51And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:52And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.53And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.54And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.55And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.56For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.57And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,58We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.59But neither so did their witness agree together.60And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?61But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?62And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.63Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?64Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.65And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.66And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:67And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.68But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.69And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.70And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.71But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.72And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
