65Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? See, now you’ve heard the blasphemy. 66What is your decision?” They answered, “He deserves death!” Then they spat in his face and beat him; others slapped him 68and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah! Who was it that hit you?” 69Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl approached him and said, “You were with Jesus the Galilean too.”
