'Cock' in the Bible
"In solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that this very night, before the cock crows, you will three times disown me."
Then with curses and oaths he declared, "I do not know the man." Immediately a cock crowed,
and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, how He had said, "Before the cock crows you will three times disown me." And he went out and wept aloud, bitterly.
"I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that to-day--this night--before the cock crows twice, you yourself will three times disown me."
But he denied it, and said, "I don't know--I don't understand--What do you mean?" And then he went out into the outer court. Just then a cock crowed.
No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed for the second time, and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, "Before the cock crows twice, you will three times disown me." And as he thought of it, he wept aloud.
"I tell you, Peter," said Jesus, "that the cock will not crow to-day till you have three times denied that you know me."
"Man, I don't know what you mean," replied Peter. No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed.
The Master turned and looked on Peter; and Peter recollected the Master's words, how He had said to him, "This very day, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times."
"You say you will lay down your life on my behalf!" said Jesus; "in most solemn truth I tell you that the cock will not crow before you have three times disowned me."
Once more Peter denied it, and immediately a cock crowed.
