58. And after a little while, another one, seeing him, said, "You also are one of them." Yet Peter said, "O man, I am not."
59. And after the interval of about one hour had passed, someone else affirmed it, saying: "Truly, this one also was with him. For he is also a Galilean."
60. And Peter said: "Man, I do not know what you are saying." And at once, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
61. And the Lord turned around and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord that he had said: "For before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."
62. And going out, Peter wept bitterly.
63. And the men who were holding him ridiculed him and beat him.
64. And they blindfolded him and repeatedly struck his face. And they questioned him, saying: "Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?"
65. And blaspheming in many other ways, they spoke against him.
66. And when it was daytime, the elders of the people, and the leaders of the priests, and the scribes convened. And they led him into their council, saying, "If you are the Christ, tell us."
67. And he said to them: "If I tell you, you will not believe me.
68. And if I also question you, you will not answer me. Neither will you release me.
69. But from this time, the Son of man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God."
70. Then they all said, "So you are the Son of God?" And he said. "You are saying that I am."
71. And they said: "Why do we still require testimony? For we have heard it ourselves, from his own mouth."
