New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 18
¹⁸ Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.
¹⁹ The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.
²⁰ Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.
²¹ Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said."
²² When He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus, saying, "Is that the way You answer the high priest?"
²³ Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?"
²⁴ So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
²⁵ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, "You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."
²⁶ One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, *said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"
²⁷ Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
²⁸ Then they *led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
