65. Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has blasphemed: what need have we any more of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy.
66. What think ye? And they answering said, He is liable to the penalty of death.
67. Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and some struck him with the palms of their hand,
68. saying, Prophesy to us, Christ, Who is it who struck thee?
69. But Peter sat without in the palace-court; and a maid came to him, saying, And thou wast with Jesus the Galilaean.
70. But he denied before all, saying, I do not know what thou sayest.
71. And when he had gone out into the entrance, another maid saw him, and says to those there, This man also was with Jesus the Nazaraean.
72. And again he denied with an oath: I do not know the man.
73. And after a little, those who stood there, coming to him, said to Peter, Truly thou too art of them, for also thy speech makes thee manifest.
74. Then he began to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said to him, Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went forth without, and wept bitterly.
