Matthew 26:71-75 ▼

71 As he went out to the gateway, another woman saw him and told those who were there, |This man was with Jesus from Nazareth.|

72 Again he denied it and swore with an oath, |I don't know the man!|

73 After a little while, the people who were standing there came up and told Peter, |Obviously you're also one of them, because your accent gives you away.|

74 Then he began to curse violently. |I don't know the man!| he swore solemnly. Just then a rooster crowed.

75 Peter remembered the words of Jesus when he said, |Before a rooster crows, you'll deny me three times.| Then he went outside and cried bitterly.
