* Before he had done speaking , he saw a multitude ; and he who was called Judas , one of the twelve , walked before them , and came up to Jesus , to kiss him . * Jesus said to him , * Now , those who were with him , foreseeing what would happen , said to him , Master , shall we strike with the sword ? * And one of them struck the servant of the high priest , and cut off his right ear . * Jesus said , and touching his ear , he healed him . * Then Jesus said to the chief priests , and the officers of the temple-guard , and the elders , who were come to apprehend him , lont @Luke:22:53 " /> * Then they seized him , and led him away to the high priest 's house . And Peter followed at a distance . * When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the court , and were sitting round it , Peter sat down among them . * And a maid servant , having observed him sitting by the fire , and viewed him attentively , said , This man also was with him . * But he disowned him , saying , Woman , I know him not . * A little while after , another seeing him , said , You , also , are one of them . Peter answered , Man , I am not . * About an hour after , another averred the same thing , saying , This man was surely with him , for he is a Galilean . * Peter answered , Man , I know nothing of this matter . And just as he spoke the word , a cock crew . * Then the Lord , turning , looked upon Peter , and Peter called to mind the word which the Lord had said to him , * And he went out and wept bitterly . * Meantime , they who had Jesus in charge , mocked and beat him ; * and having blindfolded him , struck him on the face , and asked him , saying , Divine who it is that smote you . * And many other abusive things they said against him . * As soon as it was day , the national senate , with the chief priests and scribes , were assembled , and having caused him to be brought into their council-chamber , said to him , * If you be the Messiah , tell us . He answered , lont @Luke:22:68 " /> lont @Luke:22:69 " /> * They all replied , You are , then , the Son of God ? He answered , * Then they cried , What further need have we of evidence ? We have heard enough ourselves , from his own mouth .
