Text and translations

Latin text Jesum tradidit impius summis principibus sacerdotum, et senioribus populi: Petrus autem sequebatur eum a longe, ut videret finem. Adduxerunt autem eum ad Caipham principem sacerdotum, ubi scribae et pharisaei convenerant. Petrus autem sequebatur eum a longe, ut videret finem.

French translation Jésus a été livré par un impie aux princes des prêtres et aux anciens du peuple ; mais Pierre le suivait de loin pour voir la fin. Et ils l’amenèrent devant Caïphe, prince des prêtres, là où les scribes et les pharisiens s’étaient réunis. mais Pierre le suivait de loin pour voir la fin.

English translation The wicked man betrayed Jesus to the chief priests and the elders of the people: Peter, however, followed him from a distance, to see the end. They led him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the Pharisees were met together. Peter, however, followed him from a distance, to see the end.
