New Testament

Luke 22:47-61 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

47. While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd arrived. And he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, went ahead of them and approached Jesus, in order to kiss him.

48. And Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?"

49. Then those who were around him, realizing what was about to happen, said to him: "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

50. And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51. But in response, Jesus said, "Permit even this." And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.

52. Then Jesus said to the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates of the temple, and the elders, who had come to him: "Have you gone out, as if against a thief, with swords and clubs?

53. When I was with you each day in the temple, you did not extend your hands against me. But this is your hour and that of the power of darkness."

54. And apprehending him, they led him to the house of the high priest. Yet truly, Peter followed at a distance.

55. Now as they were sitting around a fire, which had been kindled in the middle of the atrium, Peter was in their midst.

56. And when a certain woman servant had seen him sitting in its light, and had looked at him intently, she said, "This one was also with him."

57. But he denied him by saying, "Woman, I do not know him."

58. And after a little while, another one, seeing him, said, "You also are one of them." Yet Peter said, "O man, I am not."

59. And after the interval of about one hour had passed, someone else affirmed it, saying: "Truly, this one also was with him. For he is also a Galilean."

60. And Peter said: "Man, I do not know what you are saying." And at once, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61. And the Lord turned around and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord that he had said: "For before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."
