'Rooster' in the Bible
The strutting rooster, as well as the goat, and a king with his army.
Jesus told him, "I tell you with certainty, before a rooster crows this very night, you will deny me three times."
Then he began to curse violently. "I don't know the man!" he swore solemnly. Just then a rooster crowed.
Peter remembered the words of Jesus when he said, "Before a rooster crows, you'll deny me three times." Then he went outside and cried bitterly.
Jesus told him, "I tell you with certainty, today, this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you'll deny me three times."
But he denied it, saying, "I don't know or even understand what you're talking about!" Then he went out into the entryway. Just then a rooster crowed.
Just then a rooster crowed a second time. Peter remembered that Jesus told him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." Then he broke down and cried.
But Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know me."
But Peter said, "Mister, I don't know what you're talking about!" Just then, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. And Peter remembered the word from the Lord, and how he had told him, "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."
Jesus answered him, "Would you lay down your life for me? I tell you emphatically, a rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times."
Peter again denied it, and immediately a rooster crowed.
