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 26:68 and said, "Prophesy to us, You Christ; who is the one who hit You?"
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 26:75 And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.
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 27:3 ¶ 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 27:6 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 27:9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "AND THEY TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER, THE PRICE OF THE ONE WHOSE PRICE HAD BEEN SET by the sons of Israel;
Matt 27:10 AND THEY GAVE THEM FOR THE POTTER'S FIELD, AS THE LORD DIRECTED ME."
Matt 27:11 ¶ Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."
Matt 27:12 And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer.
