But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
62
Jesus said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."
63
Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "What further need do we have of witnesses?
64
You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.
65
Then some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, "Prophesy!" And the officers struck Him with the palms of their hands.

And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus of Nazareth."

But he denied it again. And a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, "Surely you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it."
71
Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this Man of whom you speak!"
