Mark 14:66-72
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
66 While Peter was down below in the courtyard, one of the [serving] maids of the high priest came;
67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she gazed intently at him and said, You were with Jesus of Nazareth too.
68 But he denied it [a]falsely and disowned Him, saying, I neither know nor understand what you say. Then he went outside [the courtyard and was] into the [b]vestibule. [c]And a cock crowed.
69 And the maidservant saw him, and began again to say to the bystanders, This [man] is [one] of them.
70 But again he denied it [d]falsely and disowned Him. And after a short while, again the bystanders said to Peter, [e]Really, you are one of them, for you are a Galilean [f]and your dialect shows it.
71 Then he commenced invoking a curse on himself [should he not be telling the truth] and swearing, I do not know the Man about Whom you are talking!
72 And at once for the second time a cock crowed. And Peter remembered how Jesus said to him, Before a cock crows twice, you will [g]utterly deny Me [disclaiming all connection with Me] three times. And [h]having put his thought upon it [and remembering], he broke down and wept aloud and [i]lamented.

Peter Disowns Jesus(A)
66 While Peter was below in the courtyard,(B) one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. 67 When she saw Peter warming himself,(C) she looked closely at him.
“You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,”(D) she said.
68 But he denied it. “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about,”(E) he said, and went out into the entryway.[a]
69 When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, “This fellow is one of them.” 70 Again he denied it.(F)
After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”(G)
71 He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about.”(H)
72 Immediately the rooster crowed the second time.[b] Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice[c] you will disown me three times.”(I) And he broke down and wept.
