026:064 Jesus said to him, "You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you,
after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right
hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky."
026:065 Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, "He has
spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses?
Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
026:066 What do you think?" They answered, "He is worthy of death!"
026:067 Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists,
and some slapped him,
026:068 saying, "Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?"
026:069 Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came
to him, saying, "You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!"
026:070 But he denied it before them all, saying, "I don't know what you
are talking about."
026:071 When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him,
and said to those who were there, "This man also was with
Jesus of Nazareth."
026:072 Again he denied it with an oath, "I don't know the man."
026:073 After a little while those who stood by came and said
to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your speech
makes you known."
026:074 Then he began to curse and to swear, "I don't know the man!"
Immediately the rooster crowed.
026:075 Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him,
"Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."
He went out and wept bitterly.
027:001 Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders
of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
027:002 and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up
to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
027:003 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned,
felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver
to the chief priests and elders,
027:004 saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood."
But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."
027:005 He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed.
He went away and hanged himself.
027:006 The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said,
"It's not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it
is the price of blood."
027:007 They took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them,
to bury strangers in.
027:008 Therefore that field was called "The Field of Blood"
to this day.
027:009 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah{some manuscripts
omit "Jeremaiah"} the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "They took
the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price
had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
027:010 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded
