kjv - Matthew:26:55-75

kjv@Matthew:26:55 @ In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

kjv@Matthew:26:56 @ But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

kjv@Matthew:26:57 @ And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

kjv@Matthew:26:58 @ But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

kjv@Matthew:26:59 @ Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

kjv@Matthew:26:60 @ But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

kjv@Matthew:26:61 @ And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

kjv@Matthew:26:62 @ And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

kjv@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

kjv@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

kjv@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

kjv@Matthew:26:66 @ What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

kjv@Matthew:26:67 @ Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

kjv@Matthew:26:68 @ Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

kjv@Matthew:26:69 @ Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

kjv@Matthew:26:70 @ But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

kjv@Matthew:26:71 @ And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

kjv@Matthew:26:72 @ And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

kjv@Matthew:26:73 @ And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

kjv@Matthew:26:74 @ Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

kjv@Matthew:26:75 @ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
