Matthew 26:57-59

International Children’s Bible

Jesus Before the Leaders

⁵⁷ Those men who arrested Jesus led him to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest. The teachers of the law and the Jewish elders were gathered there. ⁵⁸ Peter followed Jesus but did not go near him. He followed Jesus to the courtyard of the high priest’s house. He sat down with the guards to see what would happen to Jesus.

⁵⁹ The leading priests and the Jewish council tried to find something false against Jesus so that they could kill him.
