HOLY weekesaid to them: As to a theefe are you come out with swords and clubs to apprehend me? ⁴⁹I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not lay hands on me. But, that the Scriptures may be fulfilled. ⁵⁰Then his Disciples leaving him, al fled. ⁵¹And a certaine yong man folowed him clothed with sindon upon the bare; and they tooke him. ⁵²But he casting off the sindon, fled from them naked.

⁵³And they brought Jesus to the cheefe Priest; and al the Priests and the Scribes and the Ancients assembled togeather. ⁵⁴And Peter folowed him a farre off even in unto the court of the high Priest; and he sate with the servants at the fire, and warmed himself. ⁵⁵And the cheefe Priests and al the Councel sought testimonie against Jesus, that they might put him to death, neither found they. ⁵⁶For many spake false witnes against him; and the testimonies were not convenient. ⁵⁷And certaine rising up, bare false witnes against him, saying: ⁵⁸That we heard him say, *Jo. 2, 19. I wil dissolve this temple made with hand, and in three daies wil I build an other not made with hand. ⁵⁹And their testimonie was not convenient. ⁶⁰And the high Priest rising up into the middes, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to these things that are objected to thee of these? ⁶¹But he held his peace and answered nothing. Againe the high Priest asked him, and said to him: Art thou Christ the Sonne of the Blessed God? ⁶²And Jesus saith to him: I am. And you shal see the *Dan. 7, 13. Sonne of man sitting on the right hand of power, and comming with the clouds of Heaven. ⁶³And the high Priest renting his garments, saith: What need we witnesses any further? ⁶⁴You have heard blasphemie. How thinke you? Who al ^[1] condemned him to be guilty of death. ⁶⁵And certaine began to spit upon him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with buffets, and to say unto him, Prophecie; and the servants gave him blowes.

⁶⁶And when Peter was in the court beneath, there commeth one of the ^[2] woman-servants of the high Priest. ⁶⁷And when she had seen Peter warming himself, beholding him she saith: And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth. ⁶⁸But he denied, saying: Neither know I, neither wot I what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cocke crew. ⁶⁹And againe a wench seeing him, began to say to the standers about, That this fellow is of them. ⁷⁰But he denied againe. And after a while againe they that stood by, said to Peter: Verily thou art of them; for thou art also a Galilæan. ⁷¹But he ″ began to curse and to sweare, That I know not this man whom you speake of. ⁷²And immediatly the cocke crew againe. And Peter remembred the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twise, thou shalt thrise deny me. And he began to weep.
