022:058 Shortly afterwards a man saw him and said, "You, too, are one
of them." "No, man, I am not," said Peter.
022:059 After an interval of about an hour some one else stoutly maintained:
"Certainly this fellow also was with him, for in fact
he is a Galilaean."
022:060 "Man, I don't know what you mean," replied Peter.
No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed.
022:061 The Master turned and looked on Peter; and Peter recollected
the Master's words, how He had said to him, "This very day,
before the cock crows, you will disown me three times."
022:062 And he went out and wept aloud bitterly.
022:063 Meanwhile the men who held Jesus in custody repeatedly beat
Him in cruel sport,
022:064 or blindfolded Him, and then challenged Him. "Prove to us,"
they said, "that you are a prophet, by telling us who it
was that struck you."
022:065 And they said many other insulting things to Him.
022:066 As soon as it was day, the whole body of the Elders,
both High Priests and Scribes, assembled. Then He was brought
into their Sanhedrin, and they asked Him,
022:067 "Are you the Christ? Tell us." "If I tell you," He replied,
"you will certainly not believe;
022:068 and if I ask you questions, you will certainly not answer.
022:069 But from this time forward the Son of Man will be seated
at the right hand of God's omnipotence."
022:070 Thereupon they cried out with one voice, "You, then, are the Son
of God?" "It is as you say," He answered; "I am He."
022:071 "What need have we of further evidence?" they said; "for we
ourselves have heard it from his own lips."
023:001 Then the whole assembly rose and brought Him to Pilate,
and began to accuse Him.
023:002 "We have found this man," they said, "an agitator among
our nation, forbidding the payment of tribute to Caesar,
and claiming to be himself an anointed king."
023:003 Then Pilate asked Him, "You, then, are the King of the Jews?" "It is
as you say," He replied.
023:004 Pilate said to the High Priests and to the crowd, "I can find
no crime in this man."
023:005 But they violently insisted. "He stirs up the people," they said,
"throughout all Judaea with His teaching--even from Galilee
(where He first started) to this city."
