Mark:14:51-72
rsv@Mark:14:51 @ And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body; and they seized him,
rsv@Mark:14:52 @ but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.
rsv@Mark:14:53 @ And they led Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled.
rsv@Mark:14:54 @ And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards, and warming himself at the fire.
rsv@Mark:14:55 @ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but they found none.
rsv@Mark:14:56 @ For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree.
rsv@Mark:14:57 @ And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,
rsv@Mark:14:58 @ "We heard him say, `I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.'"
rsv@Mark:14:59 @ Yet not even so did their testimony agree.
rsv@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"
rsv@Mark:14:61 @ But he was silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
rsv@Mark:14:62 @ And Jesus said, "I am; and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."
rsv@Mark:14:63 @ And the high priest tore his garments, and said, "Why do we still need witnesses?
rsv@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.
rsv@Mark:14:65 @ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him, saying to him, "Prophesy!" And the guards received him with blows.
rsv@Mark:14:66 @ And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the high priest came;
rsv@Mark:14:67 @ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus."
rsv@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you mean." And he went out into the gateway.
rsv@Mark:14:69 @ And the maid saw him, and began again to say to the bystanders, "This man is one of them."
rsv@Mark:14:70 @ But again he denied it. And after a little while again the bystanders said to Peter, "Certainly you are one of them; for you are a Galilean."
rsv@Mark:14:71 @ But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know this man of whom you speak."
rsv@Mark:14:72 @ And immediately the cock crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept.
