Denial in the Courtyard

69All this time, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard. One servant girl came up to him and said, “You were with Jesus the Galilean.”

70In front of everybody there, he denied it. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

71As he moved over toward the gate, someone else said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.”

72Again he denied it, salting his denial with an oath: “I swear, I never laid eyes on the man.”
