 26:60 and found them not. And many false witnesses came; and at last, two came forward,

 26:61 declaring, This said, I can destroy the temple of Aloha, and in three days rebuild it.

 26:61 and said: This man said, I can destroy the temple of God, and in three days rebuild it.

 26:62 And the chief of the priests arose, and said to him, Dost thou return no word? What are these witnessing against thee?

 26:62 And the high priest rose up and said to him: Respondest thou nothing? What do these testify against thee?

 26:63 But Jeshu was silent. And the chief of the priests answered and said to him, I swear thee, by Aloha the Living, that thou declare to us whether thou be the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha?

 26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and said: Behold, he hath blasphemed! Why therefore should we seek for witnesses? Behold, ye have now heard his blasphemy.

 26:66 What will you? They answered saying, He deserves death.

 26:66 What is your pleasure? They answered and said: He is liable to death.

 26:67 Then did they spit in his face, and smote him; and others struck him,

 26:67 Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and others smote him,

 26:68 saying, Prophesy to us, Meshicha! Who is he that smiteth thee?

 26:68 and said to him: Prophesy to us, thou Messiah, who is it smote thee?

 26:69 But Kipha was sitting without, in the hall, and a certain female domestic approached him, saying to him, Thou also wast with Jeshu Natsroia.

 26:69 And Cephas was sitting without in the hall, and a certain maid approached him, and said to him: Thou also wast with Jesus the Nazarean.

 26:70 But he denied before all, and said, I know not what thou sayest.

 26:70 But he denied [it] before them all, and said: I know not what thou sayest.

 26:71 And when he had gone out into the vestibule, another saw him, and said to them, This also was there with Jeshu Natsroia.

 26:71 And as he went out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to them: This man was also there with Jesus the Nazarean.

 26:72 And again he denied with oaths, I know not the man.

 26:72 And again he denied, with oaths: I know not that man.

 26:73 But, after a little while, they who were standing drew near, and said to Kipha, Assuredly thou art of them; for thy speech also makes thee known.

 26:73 And a little after, those standing [there] came up and said to Cephas: Certainly, thou too art one of them; and thy speech maketh thee manifest.

 26:74 Then began he to imprecate and to swear, I know not the man! And in that hour the cock crowed.

 26:74 Then he began to imprecate and to swear, I know not that man. And in that hour the cock crew.

 26:75 And Kipha remembered the word of Jeshu, who had said to him, That before the cock shall crow, three times wilt thou have denied me. And he went without, and wept bitterly.

 26:75 And Cephas remembered the declaration of Jesus, who said to him: Before the cock croweth, thou wilt three times deny me. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
