Matthew 26:69-75
Peter’s Denials
69 aNow Peter was sitting outside in the bcourtyard, and a slave woman came to him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.” 71When he had gone out to the gateway, another slave woman saw him and *said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72And again he denied it, with an oath: “I do not know the man.” 73A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “You really are one of them as well, csince even the way you talk ▼▼Lit makes you evident
gives you away.” 74Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75And Peter remembered the statement that Jesus had ▼▼Lit said
made: “ fBefore a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
