61. and said, "This man stated, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.'"
62. The high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"
63. But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God."
64. Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."
65. Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;
66. what do you think?" They answered, "He deserves death!"
67. Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him,
68. and said, "Prophesy to us, You Christ; who is the one who hit You?"
69. Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilean."
70. But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."
71. When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."
72. And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."
73. A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away."
