51. And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him.
52. And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53. And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders and the scribes.
54. And Peter followed him at a distance, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
55. And the chief priests, and all the council sought for testimony against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
56. For many bore false testimony against him, but their testimony agreed not together.
57. And there arose certain, and bore false testimony against him, saying,
58. We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
59. But neither so did their testimony agree together.
60. And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these testify against thee?
61. But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62. And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63. Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
64. Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
65. And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the servants struck him with the palms of their hands.
66. And as Peter was below in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:
67. And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
68. But he denied, saying, I know not, neither do I understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crowed.
69. And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.
