71	And when he went out to the entrance, another servant girl saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”	When he had gone out to the gateway, another woman saw him and told those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene!”	And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.	When he had gone out to the gateway, another slave woman saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72	And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man.”	And again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man!”	And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.	And again he denied it, with an oath: “I do not know the man.”
73	After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for your accent betrays you.”	After a little while those standing there approached and said to Peter, “You certainly are one of them, since even your accent gives you away.”	And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.	A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “You really are one of them as well, since even the way you talk gives you away.”
74	Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the rooster crowed.	Then he started to curse and to swear with an oath, “I do not know the man!” Immediately a rooster crowed,	Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.	Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
75	And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.	and Peter remembered the words Jesus had spoken, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.	And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.	And Peter remembered the statement that Jesus had made: “Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
