Matthew 26:69-75 - Peter Denies Jesus Three Times
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a waiting girl came up to him, and said, "You, too, were with Jesus the Galilean."
70 But he denied it before them all, and said, "I do not understand what you mean."
71 Then he went out into the gateway, and another waiting girl saw him, and said to those there, "This fellow was with Jesus the Nazarene."
72 Again he denied it, and even swore, "I do not know the man!"
73 A few minutes afterward the bystanders came up to Peter and said, "You are surely one of them, too, for your accent gives you away."
74 Then he commenced cursing and swearing, "I do not know the man!" And at once a cock crowed. 75 Then Peter remembered Jesus' words, "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 waiting girls came up, 67 and when she saw that Peter was warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You were with Jesus of Nazareth too!"
68 But he denied it, saying, "I do not know or understand what you mean." Then he went out of the courtyard and was in the gateway to it.
69 And the waiting girl 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 few minutes later the bystanders began to say to Peter, "You are surely one of them, for you are a Galilean too."
71 Then he commenced cursing and swearing, "I do not know this man that you are talking about."
72 At that moment for the second time a Cock crowed. Then Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will disown me three times!" And when he remembered that, he burst into tears.
