And he went outside
This phrase marks a significant transition in Peter's experience. The Greek word for "went outside" is "ἐξελθὼν" (exelthōn), which implies a physical departure from the scene of his denial of Jesus. This action symbolizes Peter's separation from the immediate environment of his failure. Historically, this moment occurs after Peter's third denial of Jesus, fulfilling Jesus' prophecy that Peter would deny Him three times before the rooster crowed. The act of going outside can be seen as Peter's initial step towards repentance, as he physically removes himself from the place of his sin, perhaps seeking solitude to process his actions and their implications.

and wept
The Greek word for "wept" is "ἔκλαυσεν" (eklausen), which conveys a deep, emotional outpouring of grief. This is not a mere shedding of tears but a profound expression of sorrow and regret. In the context of Peter's denial, this weeping signifies his immediate recognition of his failure and the weight of his betrayal. The act of weeping is often associated in Scripture with repentance and a broken spirit, as seen in other biblical figures who express their remorse through tears. This moment is pivotal for Peter, as it marks the beginning of his journey back to restoration and forgiveness.

bitterly
The adverb "bitterly" is translated from the Greek word "πικρῶς" (pikros), which intensifies the nature of Peter's weeping. It suggests a deep, agonizing sorrow, reflecting the intensity of Peter's remorse. This bitterness is not just about the act of denial but also about the realization of his weakness and the pain of having failed his beloved Master. In the broader scriptural context, bitterness often accompanies repentance, as it reflects a true understanding of one's sin and the desire for reconciliation with God. Peter's bitter weeping is a testament to his heartfelt repentance and sets the stage for his eventual restoration by Jesus after the resurrection.
