62. And having got up, the Kohen Gadol said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Do you answer nothing? For what do these men give edut (testimony) against you?
63. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was silent. And the Kohen Gadol said to him, I adjure you by Hashem, Elohim Chayyim, to tell us if you are the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Ben HaElohim.
64. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, You said it. But I say to you, From now on you will see the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach] sitting at the right hand of Gevurah (Power) and his Bias (Coming) will be with ANENEI HASHOMAYIM (clouds of Heaven, DANIEL 7:13-14).
65. Then the Kohen Gadol made the keriah (rending, tearing of his garments), saying, He has committed Chillul Hashem. What further need do we have of edut? Hinei! Now you have heard the Chillul Hashem.
66. What does it seem to you? And, in reply, they said, He is deserving of mishpat mavet, the death penalty.
67. Then they spat into his face and they struck him and they slapped him,
68. saying, Give us a dvar nevuah, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. Who is the one who hit you?
69. Now Kefa was sitting outside in the courtyard. And one maid approached Kefa, saying, And you were with Yehoshua of the Galil!
70. But Kefa denied it before everyone, saying, I do not have daas of what you are saying.
71. And having gone out to the gate, another saw Kefa and says to the bystanders, There! This one was with Yehoshua of Natzeret!
72. And again Kefa denied it with a shevuah (oath), I do not know the man!
73. And after a little while the bystanders came and said to Kefa, Truly also you are one of them, for even your accent gives you away!
74. Then Kefa began to curse and swear, I do not know the man! And immediately a tarnegol (cock) crowed.
75. And Kefa remembered the word which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had said: Before a tarnegol (cock) crows you will deny me shalosh paamim (three times). And Kefa went out and wept bitterly. [T.N. Read the letters of this Kefa on p. 1104-1112, both attested by early Kehillah tradition or manuscript evidence.]
