72 But again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the Man!”

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.

Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(B) And he went outside and wept bitterly.

New King James Version
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: (A)the one by a bondwoman, (B)the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman (C)was born according to the flesh, (D)and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are [a]the two covenants: the one from Mount (E)Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the (F)Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Galatians 4:22-26
New International Version
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman(A) and the other by the free woman.(B) 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh,(C) but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.(D)
24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above(E) is free, and she is our mother.
