John 18:13-28

13and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

14But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.

15Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest;

16but Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.

17The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.

18But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.

19The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.

20Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I taught always in [the] synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.

21Why demandest thou of me? Demand of those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said.

22But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus?

23Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?

24Annas [then] had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

25But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.

26One of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

27Peter denied therefore again, and immediately [the] cock crew.

28They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And they entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.
