John 18:12-27 — Jesus Before Annas; Peter's First Denial
John.18.12-27
12So the cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him, 13and brought him to Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was better for one man to die for the people. 15Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest, 16but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in. 17Then the servant girl who kept the door said to Peter, “You aren't also one of this man's disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” 18Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire because it was cold, and they were warming themselves. And Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself. 19Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. 20Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and I spoke nothing in secret. 21Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them. Look, these people know what I said." 22When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus, saying, “Is this how you answer the high priest?” 23Jesus answered him, “If I spoke wrongly, testify about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike me?” 24Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest. 25Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You aren't also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” 26One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn't I see you in the garden with him?” 27So Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
