Matthew 26:69-75 ▼

69 And Peter was sitting in the court outside, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, “And you were with Jesus of Galilee!”

70 And he denied before all, saying, “I have not known what you say.”

71 And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and says to those there, “And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth”;

72 and again he denied with an oath, “I have not known the Man.”

73 And after a while those standing near having come, said to Peter, “Truly you also are of them, for even your speech makes you evident.”

74 Then he began to curse, and to swear, “I have not known the Man”; and immediately a rooster crowed,

75 and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, He having said to him, “Before rooster-crowing, you will deny Me three times”; and having gone outside, he wept bitterly.
