3 [18:15]But Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple; and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and went in with Jesus to the chief priest's court; [18:16]but Peter stood at the door without. Then the other disciple who was known to the chief priest went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought in Peter. [18:17]Then the female servant, the door-keeper, said to Peter, Are you also one of the disciples of this man? He said, I am not. [18:18]And the servants and officers having made a fire because it was cold, stood and warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself. 4 [18:19]Then the chief priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and his teaching. [18:20]Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always assemble, and in secret I have said nothing. [18:21]Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; behold, they know what I said. [18:22]He having said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave Jesus a blow, saying, Do you answer the chief priest thus? [18:23]Jesus answered him, If I spoke wrong, testify of the wrong; but if well, why do you beat me? [18:24]Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest. 5 [18:25]And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, Are you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not. [18:26] One of the servants of the chief priest, being a relation of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with him? [18:27]Then Peter denied again; and immediately a cock crew. CHAPTER XX. CHRIST'S TRIAL AND CONDEMNATION BEFORE PILATE. 1 [18:28]THEN they led him from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. And it was morning; and they entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. [18:29]Then Pilate went out to them and said, What accusation do you bring against this man? [18:30]They answered and said to him, If he was not a criminal we should not have delivered him up to you. [18:31] Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death; [18:32]that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die.
