^16 (A)but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in. ^17 (B)Then the servant-girl who kept the door *said to Peter, “^(C)Are you not also one of this man’s disciples?” He *said, “I am not.” ¹⁸ Now the slaves and the ^(D)officers were standing there, having made ^(E)a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were ^(F)warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.

Peter’s Denials

^69 (A)Now Peter was sitting outside in the ^(B)courtyard, and a servant-girl 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 And when he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl 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, “Surely you too are one of them; ^(C)for even the way you talk ^[a]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 word which Jesus had said, “^(D)Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and cried bitterly.

Peter’s Denials

^55 (A)And after they had kindled a fire in the middle of ^(B)the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them. ⁵⁶ And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, “This man was with Him too.” ⁵⁷ But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”
