Context of Mark 14:65

63Tearing his clothes, the high priest said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? 64You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death. And some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists and say to Him, “Prophesy!” Then the officers took custody of Him and slapped Him in the face. 66And while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the slave women of the high priest came, 67and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You were with Jesus the Nazarene as well.”
