mnt - John:18:15-27

mnt@John:18:15 @ Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple who was known to the high priest, and they went in with Jesus into the court of the high priests palace.

mnt@John:18:16 @ But Peter took his stand outside, near the door. So the other disciple who was known to the high priest came out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.

mnt@John:18:17 @ The doorkeeper (a maid servant) then said to Peter, "Are not you also one of this mans disciples?" "No I am not," he answered.

mnt@John:18:18 @ Now the slaves and the attendants were standing and warming themselves about a charcoal fire, which they had made because it was cold; and Peter also stood with them, and was warming himself.

mnt@John:18:19 @ Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

mnt@John:18:20 @ Jesus answered him. "I have spoken to all the world openly. I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, places where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and in secret I have spoken nothing.

mnt@John:18:21 @ "Why do you question me? Ask those who heard what I have said to them; these witnesses here know what I said."

mnt@John:18:22 @ When he had spoken these words, one of the police standing by gave him a blow with his hand, saying as he did so, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?"

mnt@John:18:23 @ Jesus replied "If I have said anything wrong, give evidence concerning the wrong; but if I said what was true, why do you strike me?"

mnt@John:18:24 @ Then Annas sent him in chains to Caiaphas, the high priest.

mnt@John:18:25 @ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You are not also one of his disciples, are you not?" He denied it, saying "I am not."

mnt@John:18:26 @ One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did not I myself see you with him in the garden."

mnt@John:18:27 @ Peter again denied it; and at that very moment a cock crew.
