But he said, I have no knowledge of him, or of what you are saying: and he went out into the doorway; and there came the cry of a cock.

And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not.

But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not.

But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.

Like a troubled fountain and a dirty spring, is an upright man who has to give way before evil-doers.
