may not enter into temptation."
022:047 While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who
was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them.
He came near to Jesus to kiss him.
022:048 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son of Man
with a kiss?"
022:049 When those who were around him saw what was about to happen,
they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"
022:050 A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest,
and cut off his right ear.
022:051 But Jesus answered, "Let me at least do this"--and he touched
his ear, and healed him.
022:052 Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple,
and elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out
as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
022:053 When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn't stretch
out your hands against me. But this is your hour,
and the power of darkness."
022:054 They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high
priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
022:055 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard,
and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
022:056 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light,
and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."
022:057 He denied Jesus, saying, "Woman, I don't know him."
022:058 After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You also
are one of them!" But Peter answered, "Man, I am not!"
022:059 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying,
"Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!"
022:060 But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you are talking about!"
Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
022:061 The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered
the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster
crows you will deny me three times."
022:062 He went out, and wept bitterly.
022:063 The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.
022:064 Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and
asked him, "Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?"
022:065 They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
022:066 As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people
was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes,
and they led him away into their council, saying,
022:067 "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them,
"If I tell you, you won't believe,
022:068 and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.
022:069 From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand
of the power of God."
022:070 They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He said to them,
"You say it, because I am."
022:071 They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves
