had followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that
disciple was acquainted with the high-priest, and went in with Jesus
into the palace of the high-priest. (16)But Peter stood without at the
door. Then that other disciple, who was acquainted with the
high-priest, went out, and spoke to the porteress, and introduced
Peter. (17)Then said the damsel who kept the door to Peter, Art not
thou also one of the disciples of this man? He saith, I am not. (18)Now
the servants and inferior officers having made a fire, for it was cold,
stood and warmed themselves: and there stood Peter with them, and
warmed himself. (19)The high-priest then questioned Jesus concerning
his disciples, and respecting his doctrine. (20)Jesus answered him, I
spake openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the
temple, whither the Jews resorted; and in secret have I spoken nothing.
(21)Why dost thou question me? ask those who have heard me, what I have
spoken to them: lo, they know what I said. (22)As he was thus speaking,
one of the servants who stood by him gave Jesus a slap on the face,
saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest in this fashion? (23)Jesus
replied to him, If I have spoken in an improper manner, bear witness of
the evil deed: but if properly, why strikest thou me? (24)Now Annas had
sent him bound to Caiaphas the high-priest.

(25)Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then said
they to him, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He denied
it, and said, I am not. (26)One of the servants of the high-priest,
being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see
thee in the garden with him? (27)Then again Peter denied: and instantly
the cock crew.

(28)Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium: and it was
early: and they themselves went not into the praetorium, that they
should not be defiled; but that they might eat the passover. (29)Pilate
then came out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this
man? (30)They answered and said to him, If this fellow had not been a
malefactor, we should not have delivered him up to thee. (31)Pilate
then said to them, Take him yourselves, and according to your own law
judge him. The Jews then said to him, It is not lawful for us to put
any man to death: (32)that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled,
which he spake, intimating by what manner of death he should die.

(33)Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium, and
