014:060 The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you
no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"
014:061 But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest
asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
014:062 Jesus said, "I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting
at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds
of the sky."
014:063 The high priest tore his clothes, and said, "What further need
have we of witnesses?
014:064 You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?"
They all condemned him to be worthy of death.
014:065 Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat
him with fists, and to tell him, "Prophesy!" The officers
struck him with the palms of their hands.
014:066 As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of
the high priest came,
014:067 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said,
"You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!"
014:068 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know, nor understand what you
are saying." He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.
014:069 The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by,
"This is one of them."
014:070 But he again denied it. After a little while again those
who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them,
for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it."
014:071 But he began to curse, and to swear, "I don't know this man
of whom you speak!"
014:072 The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word,
how that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice,
you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.
015:001 Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders
and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation,
and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him
up to Pilate.
015:002 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered,
"So you say."
015:003 The chief priests accused him of many things.
015:004 Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many
things they testify against you!"
015:005 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.
015:006 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner,
whom they asked of him.
015:007 There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made
insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
015:008 The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always
did for them.
015:009 Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you
the King of the Jews?"
015:010 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had
delivered him up.
015:011 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should
release Barabbas to them instead.
