Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

³¹“Simon, Simon, behold, ^(A)Satan demanded to have you,^[a] ^(B)that he might sift you like wheat, ³²but ^(C)I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, ^(D)strengthen your brothers.” ³³Peter^[b] said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both ^(E)to prison and ^(F)to death.” ³⁴^(G)Jesus^[c] said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”

Peter Denies Jesus

⁵⁴^(A)Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, ^(B)and Peter was following at a distance. ⁵⁵^(C)And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of ^(D)the 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 ^(E)insisted, 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 ^(F)looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, ^(G)“Before the rooster crows today, you will ^(H)deny me three times.” ⁶²And he went out and wept bitterly.
