DIFFERENT BUT UNITED
If you count very carefully, you will see that all fourteen tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron to make him king. (Fourteen includes Levi, Ephraim and the two half tribes of Manasseh, along with the usual tribes of Israel). The act of making David King was probably the most united that the tribes had ever been or ever would be. Both previous to, and after that time, differences split them apart – sometimes for a moment, and at other times causing an irreparable breach.
Differences are going to happen among us whether we like it or not. We all have different personalities, backgrounds and needs, so it is impossible that we are going to see eye to eye in every situation. But one thing we can and must unite on is in setting up Jesus as our king and Lord. On that point we should be completely united with each other, just as Israel was completely united when they made David their king.
Let us unite for Christ.

15. These are they that went over <5674>(8804) Jordan <3383> in the first <7223> month <2320>, when it had overflown <4390>(8764) all his banks <1415>(8675) <1428>; and they put to flight <1272>(8686) all them of the valleys <6010>, both toward the east <4217>, and toward the west <4628>.
16. And there came <935>(8799) of the children <1121> of Benjamin <1144> and Judah <3063> to the hold <4679> unto David <1732>.
17.

Then David <1732> received <6901>(8762) them, and made <5414>(8799) them captains <7218> of the band <1416>.
19. And there fell <5307>(8804) some of Manasseh <4519> to David <1732>, when he came <935>(8800) with the Philistines <6430> against Saul <7586> to battle <4421>: but they helped <5826>(8804) them not: for the lords <5633> of the Philistines <6430> upon advisement <6098> sent <7971>(8765) him away, saying <559>(8800), He will fall <5307>(8799) to his master <113> Saul <7586> to the jeopardy of our heads <7218>.
20. As he went <3212>(8800) to Ziklag <6860>, there fell <5307>(8804) to him of Manasseh <4519>, Adnah <5734>, and Jozabad <3107>, and Jediael <3043>, and Michael <4317>, and Jozabad <3107>, and Elihu <453>, and Zilthai <6769>, captains <7218> of the thousands <505> that were of Manasseh <4519>.
21. And they helped <5826>(8804) David <1732> against the band <1416> of the rovers: for they were all mighty men <1368> of valour <2428>, and were captains <8269> in the host <6635>.
22. For at that time <6256> day <3117> by day <3117> there came <935>(8799) to David <1732> to help <5826>(8800) him, until it was a great <1419> host <4264>, like the host <4264> of God <430>.
23. And these are the numbers <4557> of the bands <7218> that were ready armed <2502>(8803) to the war <6635>, and came <935>(8804) to David <1732> to Hebron <2275>, to turn <5437>(8687) the kingdom <4438> of Saul <7586> to him, according to the word <6310> of the LORD <3068>.

DELIGHTING IN MISFORTUNE
There is a certain type of people whose greatest joy in life is to watch someone else fall. They are the kind of people who laugh at the misfortunes of others and who spread gossip and rumours about the mistakes other people make. They delight in watching anyone but themselves reap their "Just Deserts," and believe that everyone else should see life the way they do. One of the things they live for is to take vengeance on anyone else who crosses their path and then to watch them fall. Maybe you know someone like that (if you do, they need you to pray for them). This type of person doesn't do much to cause trouble - but when it comes they are first on the scene to cheer it on. Ammon, Moab, Edom, the Philistines and Tyre were like that. When the Assyrians and the Babylonians attacked Israel they all watched with glee on their faces, gloating over the agony of the nation. They came in behind and wrecked what havoc they could behind the destructor.
God's anger against them was fierce because of their wicked attitude. He said then that he would do the same to them as they wished on Israel. The same judgement will fall on us if we have the same attitude. Instead let us look for good in others and delight in it

We now enter into the section of Ezekiel's prophesy during which the "Glory" is hidden. This section of the prophesy deals with the Gentile nations which surrounded the land of Israel. A time period which would be identified as "The time of the Gentiles"

25 Having spoken of the final overthrow of Jerusalem and the end of the kingdom of God on earth the prophet, by inspiration, turns to the surrounding nations. The prophecy of Ezekiel follows a progression from Israel outwards.

Both Ammon and Moab descended from Lot. Their territory was on the east side of the Jordan and the Dead Sea. Moab would have been settled to a larger decree than Ammon. From what we have been able to determine, during the time of this prophesy both nations would have raided Judah. It would also appear that Moab rejoiced over the low position Judah held among the nations

Hatred in the heart
The Philistines and Edomites are judged for their violence against Israel but the Ammonites and Moabites are judged for their attitude. Is this where Jesus gets his sayings about murder beginning in the heart, when we hate our brother? (see Matt 5:21-22). After all, the Moabites, Ammonites and Edomites descended from the same family as the Israelites.

1. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came again unto me, saying <559>(8800),
2. Son <1121> of man <120>, set <7760>(8798) thy face <6440> against the Ammonites <1121> <5983>, and prophesy <5012>(8734) against them;
3. And say <559>(8804) unto the Ammonites <1121> <5983>, Hear <8085>(8798) the word <1697> of the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Because thou saidst <559>(8800), Aha <1889>, against my sanctuary <4720>, when it was profaned <2490>(8738); and against the land <127> of Israel <3478>, when it was desolate <8074>(8738); and against the house <1004> of Judah <3063>, when they went <1980>(8804) into captivity <1473>;
4. Behold, therefore I will deliver <5414>(8802) thee to the men <1121> of the east <6924> for a possession <4181>, and they shall set <3427>(8765) their palaces <2918> in thee, and make <5414>(8804) their dwellings <4908> in thee: they shall eat <398>(8799) thy fruit <6529>, and they shall drink <8354>(8799) thy milk <2461>.
5. And I will make <5414>(8804) Rabbah <7237> a stable <5116> for camels <1581>, and the Ammonites <1121> <5983> a couchingplace <4769> for flocks <6629>: and ye shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>.
6. For thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Because thou hast clapped <4222>(8763) thine hands <3027>, and stamped <7554>(8800) with the feet <7272>, and rejoiced <8055>(8799) in heart <5315> with all thy despite <7589> against the land <127> of Israel <3478>;
7. Behold, therefore I will stretch out <5186>(8804) mine hand <3027> upon thee, and will deliver <5414>(8804) thee for a spoil <957>(8675) <897> to the heathen <1471>; and I will cut thee off <3772>(8689) from the people <5971>, and I will cause thee to perish <6>(8689) out of the countries <776>: I will destroy <8045>(8686) thee; and thou shalt know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>.
8. Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Because <3282> that Moab <4124> and Seir <8165> do say <559>(8800), Behold, the house <1004> of Judah <3063> is like unto all the heathen <1471>;
9. Therefore, behold, I will open <6605>(8802) the side <3802> of Moab <4124> from the cities <5892>, from his cities <5892> which are on his frontiers <7097>, the glory <6643> of the country <776>, Bethjeshimoth <1020>, Baalmeon <1186>, and Kiriathaim <7156>,
10. Unto the men <1121> of the east <6924> with the Ammonites <1121> <5983>, and will give <5414>(8804) them in possession <4181>, that the Ammonites <1121> <5983> may not be remembered <2142>(8735) among the nations <1471>.
11. And I will execute <6213>(8799) judgments <8201> upon Moab <4124>; and they shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>.
12. Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Because that Edom <123> hath dealt <6213>(8800) against the house <1004> of Judah <3063> by taking <5358>(8800) vengeance <5359>, and hath greatly <816>(8800) offended <816>(8799), and revenged <5358>(8738) himself upon them;
13. Therefore thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; I will also stretch out <5186>(8804) mine hand <3027> upon Edom <123>, and will cut off <3772>(8689) man <120> and beast <929> from it; and I will make <5414>(8804) it desolate <2723> from Teman <8487>; and they of Dedan <1719> shall fall <5307>(8799) by the sword <2719>.
14. And I will lay <5414>(8804) my vengeance <5360> upon Edom <123> by the hand <3027> of my people <5971> Israel <3478>: and they shall do <6213>(8804) in Edom <123> according to mine anger <639> and according to my fury <2534>; and they shall know <3045>(8804) my vengeance <5360>, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>.
15. Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Because the Philistines <6430> have dealt <6213>(8800) by revenge <5360>, and have taken <5358>(8735) vengeance <5359> with a despiteful <7589> heart <5315>, to destroy <4889> it for the old <5769> hatred <342>;
16. Therefore thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Behold, I will stretch out <5186>(8802) mine hand <3027> upon the Philistines <6430>, and I will cut off <3772>(8689) the Cherethims <3774>, and destroy <6>(8689) the remnant <7611> of the sea <3220> coast <2348>.
17. And I will execute <6213>(8804) great <1419> vengeance <5360> upon them with furious <2534> rebukes <8433>; and they shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>, when I shall lay <5414>(8800) my vengeance <5360> upon them.

PRAY FOR EACH OTHER
"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I (Jesus) have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith might not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
It is not just Simon that needed this prayer of Jesus. There are many times that I have needed it too, and, I am sure, many of Christ's other disciples have needed it and still need it today. We need to pray for each other that our faith will not fail - especially when we know someone is going through a trial to their faith. How comforting it would be to know that people are praying for us when we are at our lowest ebb. It gives us so much more determination when we know that others are right behind us and supporting us. With that prayer we will be able to stand stronger under the temptation and to be strong enough to strengthen our brothers when we come through it.
So let's do as Jesus did and pray for each other - especially if we have come through similar trials as those for whom we pray. In this way we can strengthen our brothers and sisters immeasurably.

V.3 The Lord knew that Judas was going to betray Him (the Son of God). And yet, He still remained in fellowship with him. He did not rush to judgement and disfellowship Judas, or complain or gossip to the other disciples. He forbore. He was true to his mandate to save and not to judge (John 12:27).
What an example for us! How often are we too eager to pull the trigger on our brethren, in the name of righteousness? If Jesus came not to judge, then what makes us think we have the right. Let us forbear rather than foreclose!
Michael Parry [Montreal (Can)] Comment added in 2005 Reply to Michael
22:14-23 The bread represents Jesus' body. In Jesus' body, God's character was exhibited in words and actions.
* Jesus was the word made flesh (John 1:14)
* In Jesus the fullness of the deity dwells bodily (Colossian 2:9)
So Jesus' body represents an example for us to follow.
The wine represents Jesus blood and represents forgiveness (Matthew 26:28)
Together the bread and the wine represent fellowship.
So
Fellowship = Followership + Forgiveness
You cannot have fellowship without followership (our response to God); nor can you have fellowship without forgiveness (God's response to our failures).

4. And <2532> he went his way <565>(5631), and communed with <4814>(5656) the chief priests <749> and <2532> captains <4755>, how <4459> he might betray <3860>(5632) him <846> unto them <846>.
5. And <2532> they were glad <5463>(5644), and <2532> covenanted <4934>(5639) to give <1325>(5629) him <846> money <694>.
6. And <2532> he promised <1843>(5656), and <2532> sought <2212>(5707) opportunity <2120> to betray <3860>(5629) him <846> unto them <846> in the absence <817> of the multitude <3793>.
7. Then <1161> came <2064>(5627) the day <2250> of unleavened bread <106>, when <1722> <3739> the passover <3957> must <1163>(5713) be killed <2380>(5745).
8. And <2532> he sent <649>(5656) Peter <4074> and <2532> John <2491>, saying <2036>(5631), Go <4198>(5679) and prepare <2090>(5657) us <2254> the passover <3957>, that <2443> we may eat <5315>(5632).
9. And <1161> they said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Where <4226> wilt thou <2309>(5719) that we prepare <2090>(5661)?
10. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Behold <2400>(5628), when ye <5216> are entered <1525>(5631) into <1519> the city <4172>, there shall <4876> <0> a man <444> meet <4876>(5692) you <5213>, bearing <941>(5723) a pitcher <2765> of water <5204>; follow <190>(5657) him <846> into <1519> the house <3614> where <3757> he entereth in <1531>(5736).
11. And <2532> ye shall say <2046>(5692) unto the goodman <3617> of the house <3614>, The Master <1320> saith <3004>(5719) unto thee <4671>, Where <4226> is <2076>(5748) the guestchamber <2646>, where <3699> I shall eat <5315>(5632) the passover <3957> with <3326> my <3450> disciples <3101>?
12. And <2548> he shall shew <1166>(5692) you <5213> a large <3173> upper room <508> furnished <4766>(5772): there <1563> make ready <2090>(5657).
13. And <1161> they went <565>(5631), and found <2147>(5627) as <2531> he had said <2046>(5758) unto them <846>: and <2532> they made ready <2090>(5656) the passover <3957>.
14. And <2532> when <3753> the hour <5610> was come <1096>(5633), he sat down <377>(5627), and <2532> the twelve <1427> apostles <652> with <4862> him <846>.
15. And <2532> he said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> them <846>, With desire <1939> I have desired <1937>(5656) to eat <5315>(5629) this <5124> passover <3957> with <3326> you <5216> before <4253> I <3165> suffer <3958>(5629):
16. For <1063> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, <3754> I will <5315> <0> not <3765> any more <3364> eat <5315>(5632) thereof <846> <1537>, until <2193> <3755> it be fulfilled <4137>(5686) in <1722> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.
17. And <2532> he took <1209>(5666) the cup <4221>, and gave thanks <2168>(5660), and said <2036>(5627), Take <2983>(5628) this <5124>, and <2532> divide <1266>(5657) it among yourselves <1438>:
18. For <1063> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, <3754> I will <4095> <0> not <3364> drink <4095>(5632) of <575> the fruit <1081> of the vine <288>, until <2193> <3755> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> shall come <2064>(5632).
19. And <2532> he took <2983>(5631) bread <740>, and gave thanks <2168>(5660), and brake <2806>(5656) it, and <2532> gave <1325>(5656) unto them <846>, saying <3004>(5723), This <5124> is <2076>(5748) my <3450> body <4983> which <3588> is given <1325>(5746) for <5228> you <5216>: this <5124> do <4160>(5720) in remembrance <364> of <1519> me <1699>.
20. Likewise <5615> also <2532> the cup <4221> after <3326> supper <1172>(5658), saying <3004>(5723), This <5124> cup <4221> is the new <2537> testament <1242> in <1722> my <3450> blood <129>, which <3588> is shed <1632>(5746) for <5228> you <5216>.
21. But <4133>, behold <2400>(5628), the hand <5495> of him that betrayeth <3860>(5723) me <3165> is with <3326> me <1700> on <1909> the table <5132>.
22. And <2532> truly <3303> the Son <5207> of man <444> goeth <4198>(5736), as <2596> it was determined <3724>(5772): but <4133> woe <3759> unto that <1565> man <444> by <1223> whom <3739> he is betrayed <3860>(5743)!
23. And <2532> they <846> began <756>(5662) to enquire <4802>(5721) among <4314> themselves <1438>, which <5101> <686> of <1537> them <846> it was <1498>(5751) that should <3195>(5723) do <4238>(5721) this thing <5124>.
24. And <1161> there was <1096>(5633) also <2532> a strife <5379> among <1722> them <846>, which <5101> of them <846> should be accounted <1380>(5719) <1511>(5750) the greatest <3187>.
25. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, The kings <935> of the Gentiles <1484> exercise lordship over <2961>(5719) them <846>; and <2532> they that exercise authority upon <1850>(5723) them <846> are called <2564>(5743) benefactors <2110>.
26. But <1161> ye <5210> shall not <3756> be so <3779>: but <235> he that is greatest <3187> among <1722> you <5213>, let him be <1096>(5634) as <5613> the younger <3501>; and <2532> he that is chief <2233>(5740), as <5613> he that doth serve <1247>(5723).
27. For <1063> whether <5101> is greater <3187>, he that sitteth at meat <345>(5740), or <2228> he that serveth <1247>(5723)? is not <3780> he that sitteth at meat <345>(5740)? but <1161> I <1473> am <1510>(5748) among <1722> <3319> you <5216> as <5613> he that serveth <1247>(5723).
28. <1161> Ye <5210> are <2075>(5748) they which have continued <1265>(5761) with <3326> me <1700> in <1722> my <3450> temptations <3986>.
29. And I <2504> appoint <1303>(5731) unto you <5213> a kingdom <932>, as <2531> my <3450> Father <3962> hath appointed <1303>(5639) unto me <3427>;
30. That <2443> ye may eat <2068>(5725) and <2532> drink <4095>(5725) at <1909> my <3450> table <5132> in <1722> my <3450> kingdom <932>, and <2532> sit <2523>(5667) on <1909> thrones <2362> judging <2919>(5723) the twelve <1427> tribes <5443> of Israel <2474>.
31. And <1161> the Lord <2962> said <2036>(5627), Simon <4613>, Simon <4613>, behold <2400>(5628), Satan <4567> hath desired <1809>(5668) to have you <5209>, that he may sift <4617>(5658) you as <5613> wheat <4621>:
32. But <1161> I <1473> have prayed <1189>(5681) for <4012> thee <4675>, that <3363> <0> thy <4675> faith <4102> fail <1587>(5725) not <3363>: and <2532> when <4218> thou <4771> art converted <1994>(5660), strengthen <4741>(5657) thy <4675> brethren <80>.
33. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Lord <2962>, I am <1510>(5748) ready <2092> to go <4198>(5738) with <3326> thee <4675>, both <2532> into <1519> prison <5438>, and <2532> to <1519> death <2288>.
34. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627), I tell <3004>(5719) thee <4671>, Peter <4074>, the cock <220> shall <5455> <0> not <3364> crow <5455>(5692) this day <4594>, before that <4250> thou shalt <2228> thrice <5151> deny <533>(5695) that thou <3361> knowest <1492>(5760) me <3165>.
35. And <2532> he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, When <3753> I sent <649>(5656) you <5209> without <817> purse <905>, and <2532> scrip <4082>, and <2532> shoes <5266>, <3361> lacked ye <5302>(5656) any thing <5100>? And <1161> they said <2036>(5627), Nothing <3762>.
36. Then <3767> said he <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, But <235> now <3568>, he that hath <2192>(5723) a purse <905>, let him take <142>(5657) it, and <2532> likewise <3668> his scrip <4082>: and <2532> he that hath <2192>(5723) no <3361> sword <3162>, let him sell <4453>(5657) his <848> garment <2440>, and <2532> buy <59>(5692) one.
37. For <1063> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, that <3754> this <5124> that is written <1125>(5772) must <1163>(5748) yet <2089> be accomplished <5055>(5683) in <1722> me <1698>, And <2532> he was reckoned <3049>(5681) among <3326> the transgressors <459>: for <2532> <1063> the things concerning <4012> me <1700> have <2192>(5719) an end <5056>.
38. And <1161> they said <2036>(5627), Lord <2962>, behold <2400>(5628), here <5602> are two <1417> swords <3162>. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, It is <2076>(5748) enough <2425>.
39. And <2532> he came out <1831>(5631), and went <4198>(5675), as <2596> he was wont <1485>, to <1519> the mount <3735> of Olives <1636>; and <1161> his <846> disciples <3101> also <2532> followed <190>(5656) him <846>.
40. And <1161> when he was <1096>(5637) at <1909> the place <5117>, he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Pray <4336>(5737) that ye enter <1525>(5629) not <3361> into <1519> temptation <3986>.
41. And <2532> he <846> was withdrawn <645>(5681) from <575> them <846> about <5616> a stone's <3037> cast <1000>, and <2532> kneeled down <5087>(5631) <1119>, and prayed <4336>(5711),
42. Saying <3004>(5723), Father <3962>, if <1487> thou be willing <1014>(5736), remove <3911>(5629)(5625) <3911>(5628) this <5124> cup <4221> from <575> me <1700>: nevertheless <4133> not <3361> my <3450> will <2307>, but <235> thine <4674>, be done <1096>(5634).
43. And <1161> there appeared <3700>(5681) an angel <32> unto him <846> from <575> heaven <3772>, strengthening <1765>(5723) him <846>.
44. And <2532> being <1096>(5637) in <1722> an agony <74> he prayed <4336>(5711) more earnestly <1617>: and <1161> his <846> sweat <2402> was <1096>(5633) as it were <5616> great drops <2361> of blood <129> falling down <2597>(5723) to <1909> the ground <1093>.
45. And <2532> when he rose up <450>(5631) from <575> prayer <4335>, and was come <2064>(5631) to <4314> his <846> disciples <3101>, he found <2147>(5627) them <846> sleeping <2837>(5746) for <575> sorrow <3077>,
46. And <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Why <5101> sleep ye <2518>(5719)? rise <450>(5631) and pray <4336>(5737), lest <3363> ye enter <1525>(5632) into <1519> temptation <3986>.
47. And <1161> while he yet <2089> spake <2980>(5723), behold <2400>(5628) a multitude <3793>, and <2532> he that was called <3004>(5746) Judas <2455>, one <1520> of the twelve <1427>, went before <4281>(5711) them <846>, and <2532> drew near <1448>(5656) unto Jesus <2424> to kiss <5368>(5658) him <846>.
48. But <1161> Jesus <2424> said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Judas <2455>, betrayest thou <3860>(5719) the Son <5207> of man <444> with a kiss <5370>?
49. When <1161> they which were about <4012> him <846> saw <1492>(5631) what would follow <2071>(5706), they said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Lord <2962>, <1487> shall we smite <3960>(5692) with <1722> the sword <3162>?
50. And <2532> one <1520> <5100> of <1537> them <846> smote <3960>(5656) the servant <1401> of the high priest <749>, and <2532> cut off <851>(5627) his <846> right <1188> ear <3775>.
51. And <1161> Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5679) and said <2036>(5627), Suffer ye <1439>(5720) thus <5127> far <2193>. And <2532> he touched <680>(5671) his <846> ear <5621>, and healed <2390>(5662) him <846>.
52. Then <1161> Jesus <2424> said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> the chief priests <749>, and <2532> captains <4755> of the temple <2411>, and <2532> the elders <4245>, which were come <3854>(5637) to <1909> him <846>, Be ye come out <1831>(5758), as <5613> against <1909> a thief <3027>, with <3326> swords <3162> and <2532> staves <3586>?
53. When <5607> <0> I <3450> was <5607>(5752) daily <2250> <2596> with <3326> you <5216> in <1722> the temple <2411>, ye stretched forth <1614>(5656) no <3756> hands <5495> against <1909> me <1691>: but <235> this <3778> is <2076>(5748) your <5216> hour <5610>, and <2532> the power <1849> of darkness <4655>.
54. Then <1161> took they <4815>(5631) him <846>, and led <71>(5627) him, and <2532> brought <1521>(5627) him <846> into <1519> the high priest's <749> house <3624>. And <1161> Peter <4074> followed <190>(5707) afar off <3113>.
55. And <1161> when they had kindled <681>(5660) a fire <4442> in <1722> the midst <3319> of the hall <833>, and <2532> were set down together <4776>(5660), Peter <4074> sat down <2521>(5711) among <3319> <1722> them <846>.
56. But <1161> a certain <5100> maid <3814> beheld <1492>(5631) him <846> as he sat <2521>(5740) by <4314> the fire <5457>, and <2532> earnestly looked <816>(5660) upon him <846>, and said <2036>(5627), This man <3778> was <2258>(5713) also <2532> with <4862> him <846>.
57. And <1161> he denied <720>(5662) him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Woman <1135>, I know <1492>(5758) him <846> not <3756>.
58. And <2532> after <3326> a little while <1024> another <2087> saw <1492>(5631) him <846>, and said <5346>(5713), Thou <4771> art <1488>(5748) also <2532> of <1537> them <846>. And <1161> Peter <4074> said <2036>(5627), Man <444>, I am <1510>(5748) not <3756>.
59. And <2532> about <5616> the space <1339>(5631) of one <3391> hour <5610> after another <243> <5100> confidently affirmed <1340>(5711), saying <3004>(5723), Of <1909> a truth <225> this <3778> fellow also <2532> was <2258>(5713) with <3326> him <846>: for <1063> <2532> he is <2076>(5748) a Galilaean <1057>.
60. And <1161> Peter <4074> said <2036>(5627), Man <444>, I know <1492>(5758) not <3756> what <3739> thou sayest <3004>(5719). And <2532> immediately <3916>, while he <846> yet <2089> spake <2980>(5723), the cock <220> crew <5455>(5656).
61. And <2532> the Lord <2962> turned <4762>(5651), and looked upon <1689>(5656) Peter <4074>. And <2532> Peter <4074> remembered <5279>(5656) the word <3056> of the Lord <2962>, how <5613> he had said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Before <3754> <4250> the cock <220> crow <5455>(5658), thou shalt deny <533>(5695) me <3165> thrice <5151>.
62. And <2532> Peter <4074> went <1831>(5631) out <1854>, and wept <2799>(5656) bitterly <4090>.
63. And <2532> the men <435> that held <4912>(5723) Jesus <2424> mocked <1702>(5707) him <846>, and smote <1194>(5723) him.
64. And <2532> when they had blindfolded <4028>(5660) him <846>, they struck <5180>(5707) him <846> on the face <4383>, and <2532> asked <1905>(5707) him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Prophesy <4395>(5657), who <5101> is it <2076>(5748) that smote <3817>(5660) thee <4571>?
65. And <2532> many <4183> other things <2087> blasphemously <987>(5723) spake they <3004>(5707) against <1519> him <846>.
66. And <2532> as soon as <5613> it was <1096>(5633) day <2250>, the elders <4244> of the people <2992> and <5037> the chief priests <749> and <2532> the scribes <1122> came together <4863>(5681), and <2532> led <321>(5627) him <846> into <1519> their <1438> council <4892>, saying <3004>(5723),
67. <1487> Art <1488>(5748) thou <4771> the Christ <5547>? tell <2036>(5628) us <2254>. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, If <1437> I tell <2036>(5632) you <5213>, ye will <4100> <0> not <3364> believe <4100>(5661):
68. And <1161> if <1437> I also <2532> ask <2065>(5661) you, ye will <611> <0> not <3364> answer <611>(5676) me <3427>, nor <2228> let me go <630>(5661).
69. Hereafter <3568> <575> shall <2071>(5704) the Son <5207> of man <444> sit <2521>(5740) on <1537> the right hand <1188> of the power <1411> of God <2316>.
70. Then <1161> said <5346>(5713) they all <3956>, Art <1488>(5748) thou <4771> then <3767> the Son <5207> of God <2316>? And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> them <846>, Ye <5210> say <3004>(5719) that <3754> I <1473> am <1510>(5748).
71. And <1161> they said <2036>(5627), What <5101> need <2192>(5719) we <5532> any further <2089> witness <3141>? for <1063> we ourselves <846> have heard <191>(5656) of <575> his own <846> mouth <4750>.
