Matthew 26:69-75 - Peter Denies Jesus Three Times
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a maid came up to him, and said, "You were with Jesus the Galilean, too!"
70 But he denied it before them all, and said, "I do not know what you mean."
71 And he went out into the gateway, and another maid saw him, and said to the men there, "This fellow was with Jesus the Nazarene!"
72 He denied it again, with an oath, and said, "I do not know the man!"
73 A little while after the bystanders came up to Peter and said, "You are certainly one of them too, for your accent shows it!"
74 Then he started to swear with the strongest oaths, "I do not know the man!" And at that moment a cock crowed. 75 And Peter remembered Jesus' words when he had said, "Before a cock crows, you will disown me three times!" And he went outside and wept bitterly.
66 While Peter was down in the courtyard, one of the high priest's maids came up, 67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You were with this Jesus of Nazareth too!"
68 But he denied it, saying, "I do not know or understand what you mean." He went out into the gateway.
69 And the maid saw him there and began again to tell the bystanders, "This fellow is one of them!"
70 But he denied it again. And again a little while after, the bystanders said to Peter, "You certainly are one of them, for you are a Galilean!"
71 But he began to swear with the strongest oaths, "I do not know this man that you are talking about!"
72 At that moment for the second time a cock crowed. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will disown me three times!" And at that, he wept aloud.
