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.” 70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.” 71 When 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.” 72 And again he denied it, with an oath: “I do not know the man.” 73 A 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.” 74 Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And 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.
