Luke 22:54-71

Peter Denies Jesus

54 i Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, j and Peter was following at a distance. 55 k And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of l the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. 56 Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, "This man also was with him." 57 But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him." 58 And a little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not." 59 And after an interval of about an hour still another m insisted, saying, "Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean." 60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and n looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, o "Before the rooster crows today, you will p deny me three times." 62 And he went out and wept bitterly.

Jesus Before the Council

66 t When day came, u the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their v council, and they w said, 67 x "If you are y the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe, 68 and if I ask you, you will not answer. 69 But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated z at the right hand of the power of God." 70 So they all said, "Are you a the Son of God, then?"
