25. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, "You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."
26. One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"
27. Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
28. Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
29. Therefore Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this Man?"
30. They answered and said to him, "If this Man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you."
31. So Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "We are not permitted to put anyone to death,"
32. to fulfill the word of Jesus which He spoke, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die.
