51 A young man was following Jesus. The man was wearing nothing but a piece of linen cloth. When the crowd grabbed him,
52 he ran away naked. He left his clothing behind.
53 The crowd took Jesus to the high priest. All of the chief priests, the elders, and the teachers of the law came together.
54 Not too far away, Peter followed Jesus. He went right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards. He warmed himself at the fire.
55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for something to use against Jesus. They wanted to put him to death. But they did not find any proof.
56 Many witnesses lied about him. But their stories did not agree.
57 Then some stood up. They gave false witness about him.
