Today's Reading From Mark 14.53-72

Mark 14.53-72 Commentaries, verse by verse

Peter had followed the guards and Jesus into the courtyard of the high priests. Among them were all the chief priests, elders and teachers of the law. Many tried to give testimony against Jesus but the evidence was not consistent. They even talked about when Jesus talked about destroying the man-made temple and in three days will build another, which was not man-made. This was inconsistent as well. Then the high priest asked Jesus whether he was going to answer and for him to defend Himself against the false testimony they gave. But he kept silent. Then the high priest asked him if He was the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One. He said He was and that they would see Him sitting at the right hand of the Mighty God and coming on the clouds of heaven. The high priests could not find anything to charge Jesus with because He was sinless. The high priest charged Him with blasphemy because He considered Himself equal to God in what he had just said. They spit at him, blindfolded Him, struck him with their fists, mocked Him to prophecy who hit Him.
Meanwhile Peter was in the courtyard, and was confronted by one servant girl of the high priest, she said to him that he was with the Nazarene, Jesus. He denied it. She came back to him and said that he was one of them, again he denied it. The third time those standing by the fire said that he was a Galilean by then Peter began to call down curse upon himself. Peter had crumbled under pressure by the servant girl and the bystanders. Before you say to Jesus, Lord I will follow you, Lord and I am willing to die for you. Do this soberly and prayerfully. Be ready to count the cost.
