Luke 22:47-69

⁴⁷Yit while he spak, lo! a company, and he that was clepid Judas, oon of the twelue, wente bifor hem; and he cam to Jhesu, to kisse hym.

⁴⁸And Jhesus seide to hym, Judas, `with a coss `thou bytrayest `mannys sone.

⁴⁹And thei that weren aboute hym, and sayn that that was to come, seiden to hym, Lord, whether we smyten with swerd?

⁵⁰And oon of hem smoot the seruaunt of the prince of preestis, and kittide of his riyt eere.

⁵¹But Jhesus answerde, and seide, Suffre ye til hidir. And whanne he hadde touchid his eere, he heelide hym.

⁵²And Jhesus seide to hem, that camen to hym, the princis of preestis, and maiestratis of the temple, and eldre men, As to a theef ye han gon out with swerdis and staues?

⁵³Whanne Y was ech dai with you in the temple, ye streiyten not out hondis in to me; but this is youre our, and the power of derknessis.

⁵⁴And thei token him, and ledden to the hous of the prince of prestis; and Petir suede hym afer.

⁵⁵And whanne a fier was kyndelid in the myddil of the greet hous, and thei saten aboute, Petir was in the myddil of hem.

⁵⁶Whom whanne a damysel hadde seyn sittynge `at the liyt, and hadde biholdun hym, sche seide, And this was with hym.

⁵⁷And he denyede hym, and seide, Womman, Y knowe hym not.

⁵⁸And aftir a litil another man siy hym, and seide, And thou art of hem. But Petir seide, A! man, Y am not.

⁵⁹And whanne a space was maad as of on our, another affermyd, and seide, Treuli this was with hym; for also he is of Galilee.

⁶⁰And Petir seide, Man, Y noot what thou seist. And anoon yit while he spak, the cok crewe.

⁶¹And the Lord turnede ayen, and bihelde Petre; and Petre hadde mynde on the word of Jhesu, as he hadde seid, For bifor that the cok crowe, thries thou schalt denye me.

⁶²And Petre yede out, and wepte bittirli.

⁶³And the men that helden hym scorneden hym, and smyten hym.

⁶⁴And thei blynfelden hym, and smyten his face, and axiden hym, and seiden, Arede, thou Crist, to vs, who is he that smoot thee?

⁶⁵Also thei blasfemynge seiden ayens hym many other thingis.

⁶⁶And as the day was come, the eldre men of the puple, and the princis of prestis, and the scribis camen togidir, and ledden hym in to her councel,

⁶⁷and seiden, If thou art Crist, seie to vs.

⁶⁸And he seide to hem, If Y seie to you, ye schulen not bileue to me; and if Y axe, ye schulen not answere to me, nethir ye schulen delyuere me.

⁶⁹But aftir this tyme mannys sone schal be sittynge on the riyt half of the vertu of God.
