for  Avitnefs  againft  Jefus  to  put  liim
to  death  ;  and  found  none.  For
many  bare  falfe  ^vitnefs  againft
him,  but  their  ^vitnefs  agreed  not
together.  And  there  arofe  cer-
tain, and  bare  falfe  witnefs  againft
him,  faying,  We  heard  liim  fay,  I
will  deftroy  this  temple  that  is
made  with  hands,  and  mthin  three
days  I  will  build  another  made
without  hands.  But  neither  fo  did
their  witnefs  agree  together.  And
the  high  prieftftood  up  in  themidft,
and  alked  Jefus,  faying,  Anfwereft
thou  nothing?  what  is  it  which
thefe  ^vitnefs  againft  thee  ?  But  he
held  his  peace,  and  anfwered  no-
thmg.  Again  the  high  prieft  alk-
ed him,  and  faid  unto  him,  Art
thou  the  Chrift,  the  Son  of  the
Bleflfed  ? '  And  Jefus  faid,  I  am ;
and  ye  fliall  fee  the  Son  of  Man
fitting  on  the  right  hand  of  power,
and  coming  in  the  clouds  of  hea-
ven. Then  the  high  jjrieft  rent
his  clothes,  and  faith,  What  need
we  any  further  witnefles?  ye  have
heard  the  blafphemy :  what  think
ye?  And  they  all  condemned  him
to  be  guilty  of  death.  And  fome
began  to  fpit  on  him,  and  to  cover
his  face,  and  to  buftet  him,  and  to  fay
unto  him,  Prophefy  :  and  the  fer-
vants  did  ftrike  him  with  the  palms
of  their  hands.  And  as  Peter  was
beneath  in  the  palace  there  com-
eth  one  of  the  maids  of  the  high
prieft;    and  when  ftie  faw  Peter


warming  himfelf  ftie  looked  upon
him,  and  faid.  And  thou  alfo  waft
with  Jefus  of  Nazareth.  But  he
denied,  faying,  I  know  not,  neither
imderftand  I  what  thou  fayeft.  And
he  went  out  into  the  porch ;  and
the  cock  crew.  And  a  maid  faw
him  again,  and  began  to  fay  to
them  that  ftood  by.  This  is  one  of
them.  And  he  denied  it  ag^ain.
