Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53
When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
54
Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed at a distance.
55
Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56
And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, "This man was also with Him."
57
But he denied Him, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him."
58
And after a little while another saw him and said, "You also are of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"
59
Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a Galilean."
60
But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
61
And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
62
So Peter went out and wept bitterly.
