Matthew 26:69-75 - Peter Denies Jesus Three Times
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."
70 But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."
71 And when he went out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to the people there, "This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth."
72 But again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man!"
73 After a little while those who stood by came up and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you."
74 Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know the man." And immediately the rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." So he went out and wept bitterly.
66 Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came. 67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus."
68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you mean." And he went out into the gateway.
69 And the servant girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, "This is one of them."
70 But again he denied it. And after a little while again those standing near said to Peter, "Surely you are one of them; for you are a Gallilean."
71 But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know this man of whom you speak."
72 And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept.
