Matt 26:55 ¶ At that time Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.
Matt 26:56 "But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets." Then all the disciples left Him and fled.
Matt 26:57 ¶ Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
Matt 26:58 But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome.
Matt 26:59 ¶ Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.
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 26:65 ¶ 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 26:67 ¶ 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 26:70 But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."
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 27:2 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.
