53 I was with you every day in the Temple area. Why didn’t you try to arrest me there? But this is your time—the time when darkness rules.”
54 They arrested Jesus and took him away to the house of the high priest. Peter followed Jesus but stayed back at a distance.
55 The soldiers started a fire in the middle of the yard and sat together. Peter sat with them.
56 A servant girl saw him sitting there. She could see because of the light from the fire. She looked closely at Peter’s face. Then she said, “This man was also with Jesus.”
57 But Peter said this was not true. He said, “Lady, I don’t know him.”
58 A short time later, someone else saw Peter and said, “You are also one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
59 About an hour later, another man said, “It’s true. I’m sure this man was with him, because he is from Galilee.”
