Will I not drink the cup my Father has
given me? Then the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus, bound Him, and
took Him to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high
priest that year. It was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was
expedient for one man to die for the sake of the people.
Peter followed Jesus and so did another disciple who was known to the
high priest and went inside the palace with Jesus. Peter stood outisde
the door. The other disciple arranged with the woman who kept the door
for Peter to go inside. Then she asked him, Are you also one of this
man's disciples? He said, I am not. Peter stood by the fire along with
the officers and servants who were warming themselves in the cold night.
The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples, and about His
teachings. Jesus said to him, I have spoken openly in public. I taught
in the synagogue, in the very temple the Jews always attend. There is
nothing I have said in secret. Why do you ask me? Ask those who have
listened to me about what I have said to them? They know what I said.
When He had thus spoken, one of the officers struck Jesus with the palm
of his hand and said, Why do you answer the high priest that way? Jesus
said to him, If I have spoken evil, tell me what it is. If not, why
strike me? Then Annas had Him bound and sent to Caiaphas, the high
priest.
