92. Peter’s Denial. The Suicide of Judas

When Jesus had suffered them to take Him and lead Him away, Peter had

followed Him afar off and had come into the court of the palace of the

high priest. A maid said to him: Art not thou one of this Man’s

disciples? He said: I know Him not. He went over to the servants, who

sat by the fire warming themselves. Here another seeing him, said: This

man also was with Him. But Peter denied again. Then a third one said:

Verily, thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilean, thy speech

betrays thee. Then Peter began to swear, saying: I know not this Man ye

speak of. Then the cock crowed, and at the same time they brought Jesus

through the court, and He turned and looked on Peter. And Peter

remembered the Savior’s words, and he went out and wept bitterly. (All

the Gospels.)

When Judas saw that Jesus was condemned to death, he regretted what he

had done, and came to the priests with the thirty pieces of silver and

said: I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they

answered: What is that to us? See thou to it. And he cast the pieces of

silver into the temple, and went and hanged himself, and falling

headlong his bowels gushed out. (Matt. 27:3-5; Acts 1:18.)
