15. And Simon Peter was following Jesus with another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and so he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest.
16. But Peter was standing outside at the entrance. Therefore, the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the woman who was the doorkeeper, and he led in Peter.
17. Therefore, the woman servant keeping the door said to Peter, "Are you not also among the disciples of this man?" He said, "I am not."
18. Now the servants and attendants were standing before burning coals, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves. And Peter was standing with them also, warming himself.
19. Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his doctrine.
20. Jesus responded to him: "I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews meet. And I have said nothing in secret.
21. Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I said to them. Behold, they know these things that I have said."
22. Then, when he had said this, one the attendants standing nearby struck Jesus, saying: "Is this the way you answer the high priest?"
23. Jesus answered him: "If I have spoken wrongly, offer testimony about the wrong. But if I have spoken correctly, then why do you strike me?"
24. And Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, "Are you not also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."
26. One of the servants of the high priest (a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off) said to him, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
