49. And those around Him, seeing what was about to take place, said to Him, “Master, 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 יהושע answering, said, “Allow it this far.” And touching his ear He healed him.
52. And יהושע said to those who had come against Him, the chief priests and captains of the Set-apart Place and the elders, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53. “While I was with you daily in the Set-apart Place, you did not lay hands on Me. But this is your hour and the authority of darkness.”
54. And having seized Him, they led Him and brought Him to the house of the high priest. And Kĕpha was following at a distance.
55. And when they had lit a fire in the midst of the courtyard, and sat down together, Kĕpha sat among them.
56. And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “And this one was with Him.”
57. But he denied Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”
58. And after a little while another saw him and said, “You are one of them too.” But Kĕpha said, “Man, I am not!”
59. And about an hour later, another insisted, saying, “Truly, this one was with Him too, for he is a Galilean too.”
60. But Kĕpha said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
