There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.</div><div class="p"> 55The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.</div><div class="p"> 57Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 58&#8220;We heard him say, &#8216;I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.&#8217;&#8198;&#8221; 59Yet even then their testimony did not agree.</div><div class="p"> 60Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, &#8220;Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?&#8221; 61But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.</div><div class="p">Again the high priest asked him, &#8220;Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 62 &#8220;I am,&#8221; said Jesus. &#8220;And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 63The high priest tore his clothes. &#8220;Why do we need any more witnesses?&#8221; he asked. 64&#8220;You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?&#8221;</div><div class="p">They all condemned him as worthy of death. 65Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, &#8220;Prophesy!&#8221; And the guards took him and beat him.</div><div class="s1">Peter Disowns Jesus</div><div class="p"> 66While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. 67When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him.</div><div class="p">&#8220;You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,&#8221; she said.</div><div class="p"> 68But he denied it. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know or understand what you&#8217;re talking about,&#8221; he said, and went out into the entryway.#14:68 Some early manuscripts entryway and the rooster crowed</div><div class="p"> 69When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, &#8220;This fellow is one of them.&#8221; 70Again he denied it.</div><div class="p">After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, &#8220;Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 71He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know this man you&#8217;re talking about.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 72Immediately the rooster crowed the second time.#14:72 Some early manuscripts do not have the second time.

 <div class="p">1Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.</div><div class="p"> 2&#8220;Are you the king of the Jews?&#8221; asked Pilate.</div><div class="p"> &#8220;You have said so,&#8221; Jesus replied.</div><div class="p"> 3The chief priests accused him of many things. 4So again Pilate asked him, &#8220;Aren&#8217;t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 5But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.</div><div class="p"> 6Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. 7A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. 8The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.</div><div class="p"> 9&#8220;Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?&#8221; asked Pilate, 10knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.</div><div class="p"> 12&#8220;What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?&#8221; Pilate asked them.</div><div class="p"> 13&#8220;Crucify him!&#8221; they shouted.</div><div class="p"> 14&#8220;Why? What crime has he committed?&#8221; asked Pilate.</div><div class="p">But they shouted all the louder, &#8220;Crucify him!&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 15Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.</div><div class="s1">The Soldiers Mock Jesus</div><div class="p"> 16The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18And they began to call out to him, &#8220;Hail, king of the Jews!&#8221; 19Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.</div>
