Matt 26:62 The high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"
Matt 26:63 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God."
Matt 26:64 Jesus *said to him, "You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN."
Matt 26:65 ¶ Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;
Matt 26:66 what do you think?" They answered, "He deserves death!"
Matt 26:67 ¶ Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him,
Matt 26:69 ¶ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilean."
Matt 26:70 But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."
Matt 26:71 When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and *said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."
Matt 26:72 And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."
Matt 26:73 A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away."
Matt 26:74 Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a rooster crowed.
Matt 27:1 Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death;
Matt 27:2 and they bound Him, and led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate the governor.
Matt 27:3 ¶ Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Matt 27:4 saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? See to that yourself!"
Matt 27:5 And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.
Matt 27:6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood."
Matt 27:7 And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter's Field as a burial place for strangers.
Matt 27:8 For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
