Mark 14:51 ¶ A young man was following Him, wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body; and they *seized him.
Mark 14:53 ¶ They led Jesus away to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes *gathered together.
Mark 14:54 Peter had followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.
Mark 14:55 Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any.
Mark 14:56 For many were giving false testimony against Him, but their testimony was not consistent.
Mark 14:57 Some stood up and began to give false testimony against Him, saying,
Mark 14:58 "We heard Him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"
Mark 14:59 Not even in this respect was their testimony consistent.
Mark 14:60 The high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"
Mark 14:61 But He kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"
Mark 14:63 Tearing his clothes, the high priest *said, "What further need do we have of witnesses?
Mark 14:64 "You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.
Mark 14:65 Some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, "Prophesy!" And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.
Mark 14:66 ¶ As Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest *came,
Mark 14:67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and *said, "You also were with Jesus the Nazarene."
Mark 14:68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are talking about." And he went out onto the porch.
Mark 14:69 The servant-girl saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, "This is one of them!"
Mark 14:70 But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, "Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean too."
Mark 14:71 But he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this man you are talking about!"
