Peter Denies Jesus

54 lThen they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest’s house, mand Peter was following at a distance. 55 nAnd when they had kindled a fire in the middle of othe courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. 56Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.” 57But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” 58And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” 59And after an interval of about an hour still another pinsisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.” 60But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61And the Lord turned and qlooked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, rBefore the rooster crows today, you will sdeny me three times.”

Romans 7:15-23

15For I do not understand my own actions. For tI do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with uthe law, that it is good. 17So now vit is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18For I know that nothing good dwells win me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19 xFor I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20Now if I do what I do not want, yit is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

21So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22For zI delight in the law of God, aain my inner being, 23but I see in my members abanother law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.
