New King James Version
56 And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man was also with Him.”
57 But he denied [a]Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”
58 (A)And after a little while another saw him and said, “You also are of them.”
But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
59 (B)Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a (C)Galilean.”
60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!”
Immediately, while he was still speaking, [b]the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then (D)Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, (E)“Before the rooster [c]crows, you will deny Me three times.” 62 So Peter went out and wept bitterly.

72 But again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the Man!”
73 And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, “Surely you also are one of them, for your (C)speech betrays you.”
74 Then (D)he began to [a]curse and [b]swear, saying, “I do not know the Man!”
Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, (E)“Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So he went out and wept bitterly.
