Mark 14:61-72

61But he was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

62“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

63Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “Why do we still need witnesses?

64You have heard the blasphemy! What is your verdict?” They all condemned him as deserving death.

65Then some began to spit on him, and to blindfold him, and to strike him with their fists, saying, “Prophesy!” The guards also took him and beat him.

66Now while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest’s slave girls came by.

67When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked directly at him and said, “You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus.”

68But he denied it: “I don’t even understand what you’re talking about!” Then he went out to the gateway, and a rooster crowed.

69When the slave girl saw him, she began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.”

70But he denied it again. A short time later the bystanders again said to Peter, “You must be one of them, because you are also a Galilean.”

71Then he began to curse, and he swore with an oath, “I do not know this man you are talking about!”

72Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him: “Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
