Matthew 26:63-70 English Standard Version (ESV)

63. But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

64. Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65. Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has uttered blasphemy. What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard his blasphemy.

66. What is your judgment?” They answered, “He deserves death.”

67. Then they spit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him,

68. saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?”

69. Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”

70. But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean.”
