Mark 14:62-71 English Standard Version (ESV)

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.”

63. And the high priest tore his garments and said, “What further witnesses do we need?

64. You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?” And they all condemned him as deserving death.

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.

66. And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came,

67. and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.”

68. But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you mean.” And he went out into the gateway and the rooster crowed.

69. And the servant girl saw him and began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.”

70. But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, “Certainly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”

71. But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak.”
