65. Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
66. What do you think?”They answered, “He is worthy of death!”
67. Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
68. saying, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you?”
69. Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Yeshua, the Galilean!”
70. But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
71. When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Yeshua of Nazareth.”
72. Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
73. After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
74. Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!”Immediately the rooster crowed.
75. Peter remembered the word which Yeshua had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.
