Jesus Is Mocked

63 ^sNow the men who were holding Jesus in custody were ^tmocking him as they ^ubeat him.

67 Then they ^zspit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him, 68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?”

65 And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him.

73 After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for your accent betrays you.”

26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?”

71 But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak.” 72 And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter ^lremembered how Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept.¹

60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, ^r“Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” 62 And he went out and wept bitterly.
