Matthew 26:69-75 - Peter Denies Jesus Three Times
69 Peter was seated in the square outside the house, and a servant-girl came to him. She said: You were with Jesus the Galilean.
70 In front of everybody, he replied: I do not know what you are talking about.
71 When he reached the gate, another saw him and said: This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.
72 Again he denied with an oath: I have no knowledge of the man.
73 A few moments later, those who were near approached and said to Peter: Indeed, you are one of them, because the way you speak gives you away.
74 Then with curses and oaths he said: I do not know the man! And immediately a rooster crowed. 75 Peter remembered what Jesus told him: Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times. He went out and wept bitterly.
66 Peter was still in the courtyard when one of the High Priest's servant women came by. 67 When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said: You were with Jesus of Nazareth.
68 He denied it. I do not know and I do not understand what you are talking about, he answered. He went out into the passageway.
69 The servant woman saw him there and told bystanders, He is one of them!
70 Peter denied it again. Later the bystanders accused Peter again saying: You cannot deny that you are one of them, because you, too, are from Galilee.
71 Then Peter said: I swear I am telling the truth! May God punish me if I lie! I do not know the man you are talking about!
72 Then a rooster crowed. Peter remembered what Jesus said: Before the rooster crows two times, you will deny me three times. He broke down and cried.
