| Peter Denies Jesus, and the Cock Crows | |||
| Mt 26:69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. One of the maids came over to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilean." 26:70 But he denied it in front of everyone, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about!" 26:71 As he went out to the gate, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazorean." 26:72 Again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man!" 26:73 A little later the bystanders came over and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; even your speech gives you away." 26:74 At that he began to curse and to swear, "I do not know the man." And immediately a cock crowed. 26:75 Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: "Before the cock crows you will deny me three times." He went out and began to weep bitterly. |
Mk 14:66 While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest's maids came along. 14:67 Seeing Peter warming himself, she looked intently at him and said, "You too were with the Nazarene, Jesus." 14:68 But he denied it saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are talking about." So he went out into the outer court. (Then the cock crowed.) 14:69 The maid saw him and began again to say to the bystanders, "This man is one of them." 14:70 Once again he denied it. A little later the bystanders said to Peter once more, "Surely you are one of them; for you too are a Galilean." 14:71 He began to curse and to swear, "I do not know this man about whom you are talking." 14:72 And immediately a cock crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice you will deny me three times." He broke down and wept. |
Lk 22:54 After arresting him they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest; Peter was following at a distance. 22:55 They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat around it, and Peter sat down with them. 22:56 When a maid saw him seated in the light, she looked intently at him and said, "This man too was with him." 22:57 But he denied it saying, "Woman, I do not know him." 22:58 A short while later someone else saw him and said, "You too are one of them"; but Peter answered, "My friend, I am not." 22:59 About an hour later, still another insisted, "Assuredly, this man too was with him, for he also is a Galilean."22:60 But Peter said, "My friend, I do not know what you are talking about." Just as he was saying this, the cock crowed, 22:61 and the Lord turned and looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "Before the cock crows today, you will deny me three times." 22:62 He went out and began to weep bitterly. |
Jn 18:25 Now Simon Peter was standing there keeping warm. And they said to him, "You are not one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not." 18:26 One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you in the garden with him?" 18:27 Again Peter denied it. And immediately the cock crowed. |
| Mt 27:1 When it was morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. 27:2 They bound him, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate, the governor. The Death of Judas. 27:3 Then Judas, his betrayer, seeing that Jesus had been condemned, deeply regretted what he had done. He returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 27:4 saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? Look to it yourself." 27:5 Flinging the money into the temple, he departed and went off and hanged himself. 27:6 The chief priests gathered up the money, but said, "It is not lawful to deposit this in the temple treasury, for it is the price of blood." 27:7 After consultation, they used it to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners. 27:8 That is why that field even today is called the Field of Blood. 27:9 Then was fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of a man with a price on his head, a price set by some of the Israelites, 27:10 and they paid it out for the potter's field just as the Lord had commanded me." |
Mk | Lk 22:63 The men who held Jesus in custody were ridiculing and beating him. 22:64 They blindfolded him and questioned him, saying, "Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?" 22:65 And they reviled him in saying many other things against him. Jesus before the Sanhedrin. 22:66 When day came the council of elders of the people met, both chief priests and scribes, and they brought him before their Sanhedrin. 22:67 They said, "If you are the Messiah, tell us," but he replied to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe, 22:68 and if I question, you will not respond. 22:69 But from this time on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God." 22:70 They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?" He replied to them, "You say that I am." 22:71 Then they said, "What further need have we for testimony? We have heard it from his own mouth." |
John: |
| Jesus before Pilate | |||
| Mt 27:11 Now Jesus stood before the governor, and he questioned him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You say so." 27:12 And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer. 27:13 Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they are testifying against you?" 27:14 But he did not answer him one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed. |
Mk
15:1 As soon as morning came, the chief priests with the elders and the scribes, that is, the whole Sanhedrin, held a council. They bound Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. 15:2 Pilate questioned him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" He said to him in reply, "You say so." 15:3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 15:4 Again Pilate questioned him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they accuse you of." 15:5 Jesus gave him no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed. |
Lk 23:1 Then the whole assembly of them arose and brought him before Pilate. 23:2 They brought charges against him, saying, "We found this man misleading our people; he opposes the payment of taxes to Caesar and maintains that he is the Messiah, a king." 23:3 Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" He said to him in reply, "You say so." 23:4 Pilate then addressed the chief priests and the crowds, "I find this man not guilty." 23:5 But they were adamant and said, "He is inciting the people with his teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee where he began even to here." Jesus before Herod. 23:6 On hearing this Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean; 23:7 and upon learning that he was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod who was in Jerusalem at that time. 23:8 Herod was very glad to see Jesus; he had been wanting to see him for a long time, for he had heard about him and had been hoping to see him perform some sign. 23:9 He questioned him at length, but he gave him no answer. 23:10 The chief priests and scribes, meanwhile, stood by accusing him harshly. 23:11 (Even) Herod and his soldiers treated him contemptuously and mocked him, and after clothing him in resplendent garb, he sent him back to Pilate. 23:12 Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, even though they had been enemies formerly. 23:13 Pilate then summoned the chief priests, the rulers, and the people 23:14 and said to them, "You brought this man to me and accused him of inciting the people to revolt. I have conducted my investigation in your presence and have not found this man guilty of the charges you have brought against him, 23:15 nor did Herod, for he sent him back to us. So no capital crime has been committed by him. 23:16 Therefore I shall have him flogged and then release him." 23:17 |
Jn 18:28 Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium. It was morning. And they themselves did not enter the praetorium, in order not to be defiled so that they could eat the Passover. 18:29 So Pilate came out to them and said, "What charge do you bring (against) this man?" 18:30 They answered and said to him, "If he were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you." 18:31 At this, Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." The Jews answered him, "We do not have the right to execute anyone," 18:32 in order that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled that he said indicating the kind of death he would die. 18:33 So Pilate went back into the praetorium and summoned Jesus and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" 18:34 Jesus answered, "Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?" 18:35 Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?" 18:36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants (would) be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here." 18:37 So Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice." 18:38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he again went out to the Jews and said to them, "I find no guilt in him. |
| The Sentence of Death. | |||
| Mt 27:15 Now on the occasion of the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner whom they wished. 27:16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called (Jesus) Barabbas. 27:17 So when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Which one do you want me to release to you, (Jesus) Barabbas, or Jesus called Messiah?" 27:18 For he knew that it was out of envy that they had handed him over. 27:19 While he was still seated on the bench, his wife sent him a message, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man. I suffered much in a dream today because of him." 27:20 The chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas but to destroy Jesus. 27:21 The governor said to them in reply, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They answered, "Barabbas!" 27:22 Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus called Messiah?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!" 27:23 But he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" They only shouted the louder, "Let him be crucified!" 27:24 When Pilate saw that he was not succeeding at all, but that a riot was breaking out instead, he took water and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. Look to it yourselves." 27:25 And the whole people said in reply, "His blood be upon us and upon our children." 27:26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but after he had Jesus scourged, he handed him over to be crucified. |
Mk 15:6 Now on the occasion of the feast he used to release to them one prisoner whom they requested. 15:7 A man called Barabbas was then in prison along with the rebels who had committed murder in a rebellion. 15:8 The crowd came forward and began to ask him to do for them as he was accustomed. 15:9 Pilate answered, "Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" 15:10 For he knew that it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed him over. 15:11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas for them instead. 15:12 Pilate again said to them in reply, "Then what (do you want) me to do with (the man you call) the king of the Jews?" 15:13 They shouted again, "Crucify him." 15:14 Pilate said to them, "Why? What evil has he done?" They only shouted the louder, "Crucify him." 15:15 So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them and, after he had Jesus scourged, handed him over to be crucified. |
Lk 23:18 But all together they shouted out, "Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us." 23:19 (Now Barabbas had been imprisoned for a rebellion that had taken place in the city and for murder.) 23:20 Again Pilate addressed them, still wishing to release Jesus, 23:21 but they continued their shouting, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" 23:22 Pilate addressed them a third time, "What evil has this man done? I found him guilty of no capital crime. Therefore I shall have him flogged and then release him." 23:23 With loud shouts, however, they persisted in calling for his crucifixion, and their voices prevailed. 23:24 The verdict of Pilate was that their demand should be granted. 23:25 So he released the man who had been imprisoned for rebellion and murder, for whom they asked, and he handed Jesus over to them to deal with as they wished. |
Jn 18:39 But you have a custom that I release one prisoner to you at Passover. Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" 18:40 They cried out again, "Not this one but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a revolutionary. 19:1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. 19:2 And the soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak, 19:3 and they came to him and said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly. 19:4 Once more Pilate went out and said to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no guilt in him." 19:5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak. And he said to them, "Behold, the man!" 19:6 When the chief priests and the guards saw him they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him. I find no guilt in him." 19:7 The Jews answered, "We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God." 19:8 Now when Pilate heard this statement, he became even more afraid, 19:9 and went back into the praetorium and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" Jesus did not answer him. 19:10 So Pilate said to him, "Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you and I have power to crucify you?" 19:11 Jesus answered (him), "You would have no power over me if it had not been given to you from above. For this reason the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin." 19:12 Consequently, Pilate tried to release him; but the Jews cried out, "If you release him, you are not a Friend of Caesar. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar." 19:13 When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus out and seated him on the judge's bench in the place called Stone Pavement, in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 19:14 It was preparation day for Passover, and it was about noon. And he said to the Jews, "Behold, your king!" 19:15 They cried out, "Take him away, take him away! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your king?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar." 19:16 Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. |
| Mockery by the Soldiers. | |||
| Mt 27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus inside the praetorium and gathered the whole cohort around him. 27:28 They stripped off his clothes and threw a scarlet military cloak about him. 27:29 Weaving a crown out of thorns, they placed it on his head, and a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 27:30 They spat upon him and took the reed and kept striking him on the head. 27:31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him off to crucify him. |
Mk 15:16 The soldiers led him away inside the palace, that is, the praetorium, and assembled the whole cohort. 15:17 They clothed him in purple and, weaving a crown of thorns, placed it on him. 15:18 They began to salute him with, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 15:19 and kept striking his head with a reed and spitting upon him. They knelt before him in homage. 15:20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him out to crucify him. |
