Luke 22:54-62
New King James Version
Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly(A)
54 (B)Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest’s house. (C)But Peter followed at a distance. 55 (D)Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. 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 (E)And after a little while another saw him and said, “You also are of them.”
But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
59 (F)Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a (G)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 (H)Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, (I)“Before the rooster [c]crows, you will deny Me three times.” 62 So Peter went out and wept bitterly.

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
54 And they arrested him and[a] led him[b] away and brought him[c] into the house of the high priest. But Peter was following at a distance. 55 And when they[d] had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. 56 And a certain female slave, seeing him sitting in the light and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him!” 57 But he denied it,[e] saying, “Woman, I do not know him!” 58 And after a short time another person saw him and[f] said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!” 59 And after[g] about one hour had passed, someone else was insisting, saying, “In truth this man also was with him, because he is also a Galilean!” 60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about!” And immediately, while[h] he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned around and[i] looked intently at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord,[j] how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” 62 And he went outside and[k] wept bitterly.
