Poem
The law teachers, and the elders, arrested Jesus. They went to see the high priest whose name was Caiaphas. Peter followed into the courtyard at a distance. The chief priests and Sanhedrin tried to get evidence. They looked for it in order to give a death sentence. Two men would appear to render mendacious comments. They said, “The temple of God this man wants to raze. He claims he can rebuild it all in only three days!” Caiaphas spoke, “Do you hear the men’s testimony? Why don’t you answer? You maintain taciturnity! Please tell us, are you the Son of God? What is your plea?” Jesus replied to the high priest, “Yes, it’s as you say. However, to all of you, there shall soon come a day. The Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven will be sitting at the right hand of God; everyone will see!” The angered high priest yelled, “He has spoken blasphemy! Tell me; is this man worthy of the death penalty?” They would strike him, and spit on him, and said, “Prophecy! Tell us which ones among us hit you. What did you see?” Peter was sitting in the courtyard where there would be a servant girl saying to him, “You’re from Galilee! You were one of the men with that man they call Jesus. I know you were with that man! Why don’t you please tell us?” “I don’t know him. I never saw him!” Peter would say. However, another girl saw him at the gateway: “You were with that Nazareth man earlier today. You are from there also! Your accent gives you away” Peter would answer her, “There’s a lot of room for doubt. I was not there. I don’t know what you’re talking about!” An hour later, another person would appear. “I saw you with him, also!” is what Peter would hear. “There is no way I was near him”, was Peter’s reply. That was the third time knowing Jesus he would deny. Suddenly, everyone would hear a rooster crowing. This event would then leave Peter very well knowing the truth of Jesus, and his earlier prophecy. Therefore, Peter would go away weeping bitterly! To be continued
