On the Mount of Olives] a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, but Jesus asked him, «Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?»
When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, «Lord, should we strike with our swords?» And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
But Jesus answered, «No more of this!» And he touched the man’s ear and healed him. . . .
Then seizing [Jesus, the mob] led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, «This man was with him.»
But he denied it. «Woman, I don’t know him,» he said.
A little later someone else saw him and said, «You also are one of them.»
«Man, I am not!» Peter replied.
About an hour later another asserted, «Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.»
Peter replied, «Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!» Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: «Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.» And he went outside and wept bitterly.
