Matthew 26:63-69 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

63. But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, "I command you under oath by the living God. Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."

64. "Yes. It is just as you say," Jesus replied. "But here is what I say to all of you. In days to come, you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One. You will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven."

65. Then the high priest tore his clothes. He said, "He has spoken a very evil thing against God! Why do we need any more witnesses? You have heard him say this evil thing.

66. What do you think?" "He must die!" they answered.

67. Then they spit in his face. They hit him with their fists. Others slapped him.

68. They said, "Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit you?"

69. Peter was sitting out in the courtyard. A female servant came to him. "You also were with Jesus of Galilee," she said.
