Luke 22:47-62

47While he was still speaking, suddenly a mob came, and one of the Twelve named Judas was leading them. He came near Jesus to kiss him,

48but Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49When those around him saw what was going to happen, they asked, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?”

50Then one of them struck the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear.

51But Jesus responded, “No more of this!” And touching his ear, he healed him.

52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple police, and the elders who had come for him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal?

53Every day while I was with you in the temple, you never laid a hand on me. But this is your hour — and the dominion of darkness.”

54They seized him, led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. Meanwhile Peter was following at a distance.

55They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, and Peter sat among them.

56When a servant saw him sitting in the light, and looked closely at him, she said, “This man was with him too.”

57But he denied it: “Woman, I don’t know him.”

58After a little while, someone else saw him and said, “You’re one of them too.” “Man, I am not!” Peter said.

59About an hour later, another kept insisting, “This man was certainly with him, since he’s also a Galilean.”

60But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

61Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.”

62And he went outside and wept bitterly.
