(Matthew 26:34 vs. Mark 14:30) Mark 14:72 - Why does Mark describe the rooster crowing twice, while other Gospels only mention it crowing once, and does this discrepancy weaken the account's credibility? Did Jesus' prediction about Peter's denial fail since the cock crowed once before the three denials were complete?(31) He spake the more vehemently.--The Greek tense implies frequent and continuous speaking.Verse 31. - But he spake exeseding vehemently (ἐκπερισσῶς ἐλάλει), If I must die with thee (ἐάν με δέρ), I will not deny thee.
