🍃🕊️11/24 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️
54 - And Peter had followed them at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. He was sitting with the guards and warming himself at the fire. 55 The leaders - the chief priests and the whole council - were seeking testimony against Jesus in order to have him sentenced to death, but they couldn’t find any. 56 For many did bear false witness against him, but their testimonies didn’t agree. 57 Some stood up saying, 58 “We heard him say, ‘I’ll destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even then their testimony didn’t agree. 60 So the high priest stood up in the council and demanded of Jesus, “Have you no answer to make?! What is it that these testify against you?”
61 But Jesus remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest said, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” 62 And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” 63 And the high priest tore his garments and said, “What further witness do we need? 64 You have heard his blasphemy! What is your decision?”
And they all condemned him as deserving death. 65 And some began to spit on him and slap his face and strike him, saying to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards as well delivered to him blows.
66 And as Peter was outside in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest 67 saw Peter warming himself. She looked at him and said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” 68 But he denied it, saying, “I don’t know what you mean.” And he went out into the gateway and the rooster crowed. 69 And the servant girl saw him again and said to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.” 70 But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders again said to him, “Certainly you are one of them. For you are a Galilean.” 71 But he began to swear and said, “I don’t know the man you are talking about!” 72 And then the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
LUKE 22:55-71 - And when they had built a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down, Peter sat down with them. 56 Then a servant girl, saw him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.” 57 But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.” 58 And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “No, I’m not.”59 And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, “Certainly this man was also with him, for he too is a Galilean.” 60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you’re talking about!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 And from within, the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” 62 And he went out and wept bitterly.
(Eye witness accounts always differ, and these were written a few years later, perhaps by interviewing witnesses, as neither Mark nor Luke were there that day as witnesses.)
