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

Matthew 26:69-75

69 In the mean time Peter was sitting without in the court: and a servant maid came to him, and said, you likewise was one of Jesus the Galilean's comrades.

70 but he denied it before them all, saying, I know nothing of the matter.

71 and when he was going out at the porch, another maid saw him, and said to those that were by, this fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

72 but he denied it again, and swore I don't know the man.

73 soon after they that stood by coming up, said to Peter, certainly you are one of them, for thy speech bewrays thee.

74 then he fell to solemn imprecations, and swore, "I don't know the man." and immediately the cock crew: 75 when Peter remembred what Jesus had said to him, "before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice." and he went out, and wept bitterly.

Mark 14:66-72

66 In the mean time Peter was in the entry of the hall, where one of the maids belonging to the high priest came: 67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked earnestly upon him, and said, you too was with Jesus the Nazarene.

68 but he denied it, saying, I don't know him, neither am I acquainted with any such you mention. and he went out into the porch, when the cock crow'd.

69 the maid saw him a second time, and said to the standers-by, this is one of them:

70 but he denied it again. a little time after, they that stood by, still urg'd Peter, saying, you are certainly one of his disciples, for your speech shows you to be a Galilean.

71 but he fell a cursing, and swore, I don't know the man you mention,

72 and the cock crowed for the second time. then Peter calling to mind that expression of Jesus, "before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice," he cover'd his head and wept.
