door, and brought Peter in. Then the servant girl who kept the door asked Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” Peter replied, “I am not!” Now, it was cold, and the servants and officers were standing there, around a charcoal fire they had made. As they were warming themselves, Peter was with them, standing and warming himself. Meanwhile, the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching. Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret! Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I told them. Behold, these people know what I said.” When Jesus had said this, one of the officers who was standing by slapped him with his hand say- ing, “Do you answer the high priest like that?” Jesus replied, “If I have spoken evil, testify to the evil, but if I have spoken well, why do you strike me?” Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest. Now, while Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, people said to him, “You are not also one of his disciples, are you?” Peter de- nied it, and said, “I am not!” One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Did not I see you in the garden with him?” At this, Peter denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
