“No,” they replied.
“No,” they replied.

When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.
Why didn’t you arrest me in the Temple? I was there every day. But this is your moment, the time when the power of darkness reigns.”

But Peter denied it. “Woman,” he said, “I don’t even know him!”
And after a short time another seeing him said, And *thou* art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.
After a while someone else looked at him and said, “You must be one of them!”
“No, man, I’m not!” Peter retorted.
“No, man, I’m not!” Peter retorted.
And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.
About an hour later someone else insisted, “This must be one of them, because he is a Galilean, too.”
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [the] cock crew.
But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.
At that moment the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Suddenly, the Lord’s words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.”

If *thou* art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;
and they said, “Tell us, are you the Messiah?”
But he replied, “If I tell you, you won’t believe me.
But he replied, “If I tell you, you won’t believe me.
and if I should ask [you], ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;
And if I ask you a question, you won’t answer.
but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
And they all said, *Thou* then art the Son of God? And he said to them, *Ye* say that I am.
They all shouted, “So, are you claiming to be the Son of God?”
And he replied, “You say that I am.”
And he replied, “You say that I am.”
