Peter’s Denials

26:69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A90 slave girl91 came to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” 26:70 But he denied it in front of them all:92 “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” 26:71 When93 he went out to the gateway, another slave girl94 saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.” 26:72 He denied it again with an oath, “I do not know the man!” 26:73 After95 a little while, those standing there came up to Peter and said, “You really are one of them too—even your accent96 gives you away!” 26:74 At that he began to curse, and he swore with an oath, “I do not know the man!” At that moment a rooster crowed.97 26:75 Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.98
