Matthew 26:65-72

65Then the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? Now you have heard the blasphemy!

66What is your verdict?” They answered, “He is guilty and deserves death.”

67Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists. And some slapped him,

68saying, “Prophesy for us, you Christ! Who hit you?”

69Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A slave girl came to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”

70But he denied it in front of them all: “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

71When he went out to the gateway, another slave girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.”

72He denied it again with an oath, “I do not know the man!”
