* And Simon Peter followed Jesus , also the other disciple . But that disciple was known to the high priest , and he went in with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest . * But Peter had stood near the door outside . So the other disciple , who was known to the high priest , went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought in Peter . * Therefore the servant girl (the doorkeeper ) says to Peter , Are thou not also of this man 's disciples ? That man says , I am not . * Now the bondmen and the subordinates had stood , having made a fire of coals because it was cold , and they were warming themselves . And Peter was also standing with them warming himself . * The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples , and about his doctrine . * Jesus answered him , I spoke in public to the world . I always taught in a synagogue , and in the temple where the Jews always gather together , and I spoke nothing in secret . * Why question thou me ? Question those who have heard what I said to them . Behold , these know the things that I said . * And when he said these things , one of the subordinates standing by gave a slap to Jesus , saying , Answer thou the high priest this way ? * Jesus answered him , If I spoke wrongly , testify about the wrong , but if correctly , why strike me ? * Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest . * Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself . Therefore they said to him , Are thou not also of his disciples ? That man therefore denied , and said , I am not . * One of the bondmen of the high priest , being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off , says , Did I not see thee in the garden with him ? * Peter therefore denied again , and straightaway a cock sounded .
