67 (A)Then they (B)spit in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others [a]slapped Him, 68 and said, “(C)Prophesy to us, You [b]Christ; who is the one who hit You?”

Peter’s Denials

69 (D)Now Peter was sitting outside in the (E)courtyard, and a slave woman came to him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.” 71 When he had gone out to the gateway, another slave woman saw him and *said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72 And again he denied it, with an oath: “I do not know the man.” 73 A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “You really are one of them as well, (F)since even the way you talk [c]gives you away.” 74 Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the statement that Jesus had [d]made: (G)Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.

Peter Disowns Jesus(C)

69 Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.

70 But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.

71 Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

72 He denied it again, with an oath: “I don’t know the man!”

73 After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”

74 Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know the man!”

Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(D) And he went outside and wept bitterly.

65 And some began to (A)spit on Him, and [a](B)to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists and say to Him, “(C)Prophesy!” Then the officers took custody of Him [b]and slapped Him in the face.

22 But when He said this, one of the (A)officers, who was standing nearby, (B)struck Jesus, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?” 23 (C)Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?” 24 (D)So Annas sent Him bound to (E)Caiaphas the high priest.

Peter’s Denial of Jesus

25 (F)Now (G)Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “(H)You are not one of His disciples as well, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.” 26 One of the slaves of the high priest, who was related to the one (I)whose ear Peter cut off, *said, “Did I not see you in (J)the garden with Him?” 27 Peter then denied it again, and immediately (K)a rooster crowed.

Jesus before Pilate

28 (L)Then they *brought Jesus from (M)Caiaphas into (N)the [a]Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter (O)the [b]Praetorium, so that (P)they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 29 (Q)Therefore Pilate came out to them and *said, “What accusation are you bringing against this Man?” 30 They answered and said to him, “If this Man were not [c]a criminal, we would not have handed Him over 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 [d]permitted to put anyone to death.” 32 This happened so that (R)the word of Jesus which He said, indicating what kind of death He was going to die, would be fulfilled.

33 Therefore Pilate (S)entered the Praetorium again, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “(T)You are the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Are you saying this [e]on your own, or did others tell you about Me?” 35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me; what have You done?” 36 Jesus answered, (U)My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not [f]of this realm.” 37 Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, (V)You say correctly that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this I have come into the world: (W)to testify to the truth. (X)Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.” 38 Pilate *said to Him, “What is truth?”

And after saying this, he (Y)came out again to the Jews and *said to them, “(Z)I find no grounds at all for charges in [g]His case. 39 (AA)However, you have a custom that I release one prisoner [h]for you at the Passover; therefore do you wish that I release [i]for you the King of the Jews?” 40 So they shouted again, saying, “(AB)Not this Man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a rebel.

22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials(A) nearby slapped him in the face.(B) “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.

23 “If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?”(C) 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas(D) the high priest.

Peter’s Second and Third Denials(E)

25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself.(F) So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?”

He denied it, saying, “I am not.”(G)

26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,(H) challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”(I) 27 Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.(J)

Jesus Before Pilate(K)

28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor.(L) By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace,(M) because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.(N) 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”

30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”

31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”

“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected. 32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.(O)

33 Pilate then went back inside the palace,(P) summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(Q)

34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”

35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”

36 Jesus said, “My kingdom(R) is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders.(S) But now my kingdom is from another place.”(T)

37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate.

Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth.(U) Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”(V)

38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.(W) 39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”

40 They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.(X)
