The Book of Jesus Chapter Eighteen: The life of Jesus from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John in easy-to-read, chronological format.
And he went out and the cock crowed. Meanwhile, the High Priest interrogated Jesus about his disciples and his teachings.
JESUS.
I have spoken openly for all the world to hear. I have always taught in the synagogue and in the Temple where all the Jews meet
together; I have said nothing in secret. But why are you asking me? Ask the people that heard me what I said to them.
NARRATOR.
When he had spoken in this way, one of the guards standing by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand and said:
GUARD 1.
Is that the way to answer the High Priest?
JESUS.
If there is something wrong in what I said, point out what is wrong. But if there is no offence in it, why did you hit me?
NARRATOR.
Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the High Priest. Simon Peter again was standing by the fire when the servant girl, who
stood duty at the door, saw him again and he went out to the gate of the forecourt. The servant girl again started telling the bystanders:
DOOR GIRL.
This man was with Jesus of Nazareth. This man is one of them. Aren't you also one of his disciples? You are another of them!
NARRATOR.
But Peter again, with an oath, denied it.
SIMON PETER.
I am not my friend. I don't know the man.
NARRATOR.
About an hour later, the bystanders themselves came up to Peter. One of the High Priest's servants, a relation of the man whose Peter
had cut off said:
RELATIVE.
Didn't I see you in the garden with him?
MAN 1.
This man was certainly with him. You are one of them for sure. You're a Galilean! Your accent gives you away.
NARRATOR.
Again Peter denied it and started cursing and swearing.
SIMON PETER.
Man, I don't know what you're talking about! I don't know the man you're talking about.
NARRATOR.
At that instant while he was still speaking, the cock crowed for the second time. The Lord turned and looked straight at him and Peter
remembered what the Lord had said to him. 'Before the cock crows today, you will have disowned me three times. And he burst into
tears and went outside and wept bitterly.
Matthew 26:57,58;69-75; Mark 14:53,54;66-72; Luke 22:54-62; John 18:12-27

Jesus Brought Before The Sanhedrin
NARRATOR.
When day broke, the elders of the people, the chief priests and the scribes came together and led Jesus into the Sanhedrin and said to
him:
CHIEF PRIESTS, ELDERS and SCRIBES.
Are you the Christ? Tell us!
JESUS.
If I tell you, you won't believe me. And if I question you, you won't answer me or let me go. The time is coming when the Son of Man
will sit on the right hand of the power of God.
NARRATOR.
