Matthew 26:54-71

54HowG4459 thenG3767 will 1the ScripturesG1124 be fulfilledG4137, which say that it mustG1163 happenG1096 thisG3779 wayG3779?”

55At that timeG5610 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to the crowdsG3793, “Have you comeG1831 out with swordsG3162 and clubsG3586 to arrestG4815 Me as you would againstG1909 a robberG3027? 2EveryG2596 dayG2250 I used to sitG2516 in the templeG2413 teachingG1321 and you did not seizeG2902 Me. 56But allG3650 thisG3778 has takenG1096 placeG1096 to fulfillG4137 3the ScripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4396.” ThenG5119 allG3956 the disciplesG3101 leftG863 Him and fledG5343.

574ThoseG3588 who had seizedG2902 JesusG2424 ledG520 Him awayG520 to 5CaiaphasG2533, the highG749 priestG749, whereG3699 the scribesG1122 and the eldersG4245 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863. 58But 6PeterG4074 was followingG190 Him at a distanceG3113 as farG2193 as the 7courtyardG833 of the highG749 priestG749, and enteredG1525 in, and satG2521 downG2521 with the 89officersG5257 to seeG3708 the outcomeG5056.

59NowG1161 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the wholeG3650 1011CouncilG4892 kept tryingG2212 to obtainG2212 falseG5577 testimonyG5577 againstG2596 JesusG2424, soG3704 that they might putG2289 Him to deathG2289. 60They did not findG2147 any, even though manyG4183 falseG5577 witnessesG5577 cameG4334 forwardG4334. But laterG5305 on 12twoG1417 cameG4334 forwardG4334, 61and saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 statedG5346, ‘13I amG1410 ableG1410 to destroyG2647 the 14templeG3485 of GodG2316 and to rebuildG3618 it 15in threeG5140 daysG2250.’” 62The highG749 priestG749 stoodG450 up and saidG3004 to Him, “Do You not answerG611? WhatG5101 is it that theseG3778 menG3778 are testifyingG2649 againstG2649 You?” 63But 16JesusG2424 keptG4623 silentG4623. 17And the highG749 priestG749 saidG3004 to Him, “I 1819adjureG1844 You by 20the livingG2198 GodG2316, that You tellG3004 us whetherG1487 You are 21the ChristG5547, 22the SonG5207 of GodG2316.” 64JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “23You have saidG3004 it yourself; neverthelessG4133 I tellG3004 you, 24hereafterG575G737 you will seeG3708 25the SonG5207 of ManG444 sittingG2521 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of PowerG1411, and 26comingG2064 on the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772.”

65ThenG5119 the highG749 priestG749 27toreG1284 his 28robesG2440 and saidG3004, “He has blasphemedG987! WhatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 do we haveG2192 of witnessesG3144? BeholdG2396, you have nowG3568 heardG191 the blasphemyG988; 66whatG5101 do you thinkG1380?” They answeredG611, “29He deservesG1777 deathG2288!”

6730ThenG5119 they 31spatG1716 in His faceG4383 and beatG2852 Him with their fistsG2852; and othersG3588 32slappedG4474 Him, 68and saidG3004, “33ProphesyG4395 to us, You 34ChristG5547; whoG5101 is the one who hitG3817 You?”

6935NowG1161 PeterG4074 was sittingG2521 outsideG1854 in the 36courtyardG833, and a servant-girlG3814 cameG4334 to him and saidG3004, “You tooG2532 were with JesusG2424 the GalileanG1057.” 70But he deniedG720 it beforeG1715 them allG3956, sayingG3004, “I do not knowG3609 whatG5101 you are talkingG3004 about.” 71When he had goneG1831 out to the gatewayG4440, anotherG243 servant-girl sawG3708 him and saidG3004 to thoseG3588 whoG3588 were thereG1563, “ThisG3778 manG3778 was with JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480.”
