Matthew 26:57-62

58Meanwhile, Peter followed him at a distance and came to the high priest’s courtyard. He went in and sat with the guards and waited to see how it would all end.

60But even though they found many who agreed to give false witness, they could not use anyone’s testimony. Finally, two men came forward
