Matthew 26:69-75 - Peter Denies Jesus Three Times

Matthew 26:69-75

69 Now Peter sat without in the hall: and there came to him a single maid-servant, saying, Thou also wert with Jesus of Galilee.

70 But he denied it before them all, asserting, I know not what thou art saying.

71 Then as he was going out at the gate, another maid-servant saw him, and saith to those who were there, This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.

72 Then again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.

73 But after a little while they who stood by, came up and said to Peter, Assuredly thou also art one of them: for even thy speech maketh thee manifest.

74 Then began he to utter the bitterest curses, and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said unto him, Before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And going out, he wept bitterly.

Mark 14:66-72

66 And as Peter was in the hall, at the lower end, there came to him one of the high-priest's maid-servants: 67 and seeing Peter warming himself, stedfastly looking at him, she said, Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

68 Then he denied it, saying, I do not so much as know him, nor understand what thou art saying. And he went out into the vestibule; and the cock crew.

69 And a maid-servant observing him again; began to say to those who stood by, This man is one of them.

70 Then he denied it again. And after a little while, they who stood by said to Peter, Of a certainty thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is correspondent.

71 Then began he to make the most dreadful imprecations, and to swear, I know not the man of whom ye speak.

72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus spake unto him, That before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And casting his mantle over his face, he wept.
