Mark 14:53-55
New Catholic Bible
53 Jesus Is Condemned by the Sanhedrin.[a] They led Jesus away to the high priest, where the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes were gathering. 54 Meanwhile, Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest, and he was sitting there with the attendants, warming himself at the fire.
55 The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin[b] tried to elicit testimony against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they failed in their efforts.
