Luke 22:54-23:12

Peter denies Jesus

54 So they arrested Jesus, took him off, and brought him into the high priest’s house. Peter followed at a distance. 55 They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat around it, and Peter sat in among them.

56 A servant-girl saw him sitting by the fire. She stared hard at him. “This fellow was with him!” she said.

57 Peter denied it. “I don’t know him, woman,” he said.

58 After a little while another man saw him and said, “You’re one of them!”

“No, my friend, I’m not,” replied Peter.

59 After the space of about an hour, another man insisted, “It’s true! This man was with him; he’s a Galilean too!”

60 “My good fellow,” said Peter, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” And at once, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed. 61 The master turned and looked at Peter, and Peter called to mind the words the master had spoken to him: “Before the cock crows, this very day, you will deny me three times.” 62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.

63 The men who were holding Jesus began to make fun of him and knock him about. 64 They blindfolded him.

“Prophesy!” they told him. “Who is it that’s hitting you?”

65 And they said many other scandalous things to him.

66 When the day broke, the official assembly of the people, the chief priests and the scribes came together, and they took him off to their council.

67 “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us!”

“If I tell you,” he said to them, “you won’t believe me. 68 And if I ask you a question, you won’t answer me. 69 But from now on the son of man will be seated at the right hand of God’s power.”

70 “So you’re the son of God, are you?” they said.

“You say that I am,” he said to them.

71 “Why do we need any more witnesses?” they said. “We’ve heard it ourselves, from his own mouth!”

Jesus before Pilate and Herod

23 The whole crowd of them got up and took Jesus to Pilate.

They began to accuse him. “We found this fellow,” they said, “deceiving our nation! He was forbidding people to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is the Messiah—a king!”

So Pilate asked Jesus, “You are the king of the Jews?”

“You said it,” replied Jesus.

“I find no fault in this man,” said Pilate to the chief priests and the crowds. But they became insistent.

“He’s stirring up the people,” they said, “teaching them throughout the whole of Judaea. He began in Galilee, and now he’s come here.”

When Pilate heard that, he asked if the man was indeed a Galilean. When he learned that he was from Herod’s jurisdiction he sent him to Herod, who happened also to be in Jerusalem at that time.

When Herod saw Jesus he was delighted. He had been wanting to see him for quite some time now, since he’d heard about him, and had hoped to see him perform some sign or other. He questioned him this way and that, but Jesus gave no answer at all. 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood by, accusing him vehemently. 11 Herod and his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt; they ridiculed him by dressing him up in a splendid robe, and sent him back to Pilate. 12 And so it happened, that very day, that Herod and Pilate became friends with each other. Up until then, they had been enemies.
