Matthew 26:63-69 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

63. But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, "I bind you by an oath to the living God to tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."

64. Jesus said to him: "You have said it. Yet truly I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

65. Then the high priest tore his garments, saying: "He has blasphemed. Why do we still need witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy.

66. How does it seem to you?" So they responded by saying, "He is guilty unto death."

67. Then they spit in his face, and they struck him with fists. And others struck his face with the palms of their hands,

68. saying: "Prophesy for us, O Christ. Who is the one that struck you?"

69. Yet truly, Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a maidservant approached him, saying, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."
