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

And they brought to the cheefe Priest; and al the Priests and the Scribes and the Ancients assembled togeather. And 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. And the cheefe Priests and al the Councel sought testimonie against, that they might put him to death, neither found they. For many spake false witnes against him; and the testimonies were not convenient. And certaine rising up, bare false witnes against him, saying: That we heard him say, * I wil dissolve this temple made with hand, and in three daies wil I build an other not made with hand. And their testimonie was not convenient. And the high Priest rising up into the middes, asked, saying: Answerest thou nothing to these things that are objected to thee of these? But 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? And saith to him: I am. And you shal see the * Sonne of man sitting on the right hand of power, and comming with the clouds of Heaven. And the high Priest renting his garments, saith: What need we witnesses any further? You have heard blasphemie. How thinke you? Who al condemned him to be guilty of death. And 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.

And when Peter was in the court beneath, there commeth one of the woman-servants of the high Priest. And when she had seen Peter warming himself, beholding him she saith: And thou wast with of Nazareth. But he denied, saying: Neither know I, neither wot I what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cocke crew. And againe a wench seeing him, began to say to the standers about, That this fellow is of them. But 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. But he ″ began to curse and to sweare, That I know not this man whom you speake of. And immediatly the cocke crew againe. And Peter remembred the word that had said unto him: Before the cock crow twise, thou shalt thrise deny me. And he began to weep.
