Luke 22:54-62 ▼

54 And having arrested Him, they led Him away, and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance.

55 And after they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.

56 And a certain servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, and looking intently at him, said, “This man was with Him too.”

57 But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”

58 And a little later, another saw him and said, “You are one of them too!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

59 And after about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, “Certainly this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean too.”

60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.

61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, “Before a cock crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

62 And he went out and wept bitterly.
