Luke 22:54-23:12
    Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. ⁵⁵ But when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. ⁵⁶ A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, "This man was with him."
    ⁵⁷ But he denied it. "Woman, I don't know him," he said.
    ⁵⁸ A little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them."
    "Man, I am not!" Peter replied.
    ⁵⁹ About an hour later another asserted, "Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean."
    ⁶⁰ Peter replied, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. ⁶¹ The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times." ⁶² And he went outside and wept bitterly.
    ⁶³ The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. ⁶⁴ They blindfolded him and demanded, "Prophesy! Who hit you?" ⁶⁵ And they said many other insulting things to him.
    ⁶⁶ At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and teachers of the law, met together, and Jesus was led before them. ⁶⁷ "If you are the Christ," they said, "tell us."
    Jesus answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe me, ⁶⁸ and if I asked you, you would not answer. ⁶⁹ But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God."
    ⁷⁰ They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?"
    He replied, "You are right in saying I am."
    ⁷¹ Then they said, "Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips."
    ^23:1 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate. ² And they began to accuse him, saying, "We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Christ, a king."
    ³ So Pilate asked Jesus, "Are you the king of the Jews?"
    "Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied.
    ⁴ Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no basis for a charge against this man."
    ⁵ But they insisted, "He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here."
    ⁶ On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. ⁷ When he learned that Jesus was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
    ⁸ When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform some miracle. ⁹ He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰ The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. ¹¹ Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate. ¹² That day Herod and Pilate became friends--before this they had been enemies.

Genesis 27:35-37
    But he said, "Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing."
    ³⁶ Esau said, "Isn't he rightly named Jacob? He has deceived me these two times: He took my birthright, and now he's taken my blessing!" Then he asked, "Haven't you reserved any blessing for me?"
    ³⁷ Isaac answered Esau, "I have made him lord over you and have made all his relatives his servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine. So what can I possibly do for you, my son?"

Genesis 27:41
    Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. He said to himself, "The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob."

Psalm 44:16-21
    at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me,
        because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.
 
    ¹⁷ All this happened to us,
        though we had not forgotten you
        or been false to your covenant.
    ¹⁸ Our hearts had not turned back;
        our feet had not strayed from your path.
    ¹⁹ But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals
        and covered us over with deep darkness.
 
    ²⁰ If we had forgotten the name of our God
        or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
    ²¹ would not God have discovered it,
        since he knows the secrets of the heart?
