He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
