Peter Denies Jesus
69Meanwhile Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl came to him and said, “You were also with Jesus the Galilean.”
70But he denied it in front of everyone, saying, “I don't know what you're talking about.”
71When Peter went out to the entryway, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72Again Peter denied it with an oath and said, “I do not know the man.”
73After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them because even your accent gives you away.”
74Then he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know the man!” Just then the rooster crowed. 75And Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
