^{55 Ref} And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.

^{56 Ref} And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light `of the fire', and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him.

^{68 Ref} and if I ask `you', ye will not answer.

^{69 Ref} But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God.

^{70 Ref} And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

^{71 Ref} And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.
