Peter Denies Jesus Three Times

66 And while* Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the female slaves of the high priest came up. 67 And when* she saw Peter warming himself, she looked intently at him and* said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” 68 But he denied it,* saying, “I neither know nor understand what you mean!” And he went out into the gateway, and a rooster crowed.t 69 And the female slave, when she* saw him, began to say again to the bystanders, “This man is one of them!” 70 But he denied it* again. And after a little while, again the bystanders began to sayu to Peter, “You really are one of them, because you also are a Galilean, and your accent ⌊shows it⌋!”v w 71 And he began to curse and to swear with an oath, “I do not know this man whom you are talking about!” 72 And immediately a rooster crowed for the second time. And Peter remembered the statement, how Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times,” and throwing himself down, he began to weep.x
