Matthew 26:63-75

63But Yeshua kept silent. The kohen gadol said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God, tell us if You are Mashiach Ben-Elohim!”

64“As you have said,” replied Yeshua. “Besides that, I tell you, soon after you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65Then the kohen gadol tore his clothes and said, “Blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, you’ve heard the blasphemy.

66What’s your verdict?” “Guilty,” they answered. “He deserves death!”

67Then they spat in His face and pounded Him with their fists. Others slapped Him and demanded,

68“Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Which one hit You?”

69Meanwhile, Peter was sitting in the courtyard. A servant girl came over to him and said, “You also were with Yeshua of the Galilee.”

70But he denied it before everyone, saying, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

71When he went onto the porch, another servant girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Yeshua ha-Natzrati.”

72Again he denied it with an oath: “I don’t know the Man!”

73A little while later, some of the bystanders approached Peter and said to him, “Surely you’re one of them, too—your accent gives you away.”

74Then he began to curse and to swear an oath: “I do not know the Man!” Right then, a rooster crowed.

75Then Peter reminded himself of the word Yeshua had said: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went away and wept bitterly.
