Verse
Matthew - ch 26 v 61 - 75
- And they said: This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and after three days to rebuild it.
- And the high priest rising up, said to him: Answerest thou nothing to the things which these witness against thee?
- But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God.
- Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said it. Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
- Then the high priests rent his garments, saying: He hath blasphemed; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy:
- What think you? But they answering, said: He is guilty of death.
- Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him: and others struck his face with the palms of their hands,
- Saying: Prophesy unto us, O Christ, who is he that struck thee?
- But Peter sat without in the court: and there came to him a servant maid, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean.
- But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what thou sayest.
- And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him, and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.
- And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.
- And after a little while they came that stood by, and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them; for even thy speech doth discover thee.
- Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
- And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which he had said: Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And going forth, he wept bitterly.
