Matthew 26:57-59

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Trial in Front of the Jewish Council^(A)

⁵⁷ Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the chief priest, where the experts in Moses’ Teachings and the leaders had gathered together. ⁵⁸ Peter followed at a distance until he came to the chief priest’s courtyard. He went inside and sat with the guards to see how this would turn out.

⁵⁹ The chief priests and the whole council were searching for false testimony to use against Jesus in order to execute him.
