⁶⁶ And when Peter was in the hall beneath, one of the damsels of the high priest came [one of the handmaidens of the highest priest came].

⁶⁷ And when she had seen Peter warming him(self), she beheld him, and said, And thou were with Jesus of Nazareth [And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth].

⁶⁸ And he denied, and said [saying], Neither I know, neither I know, what thou sayest. And he went [out] withoutforth before the hall; and at once [and anon] the cock crew.

⁶⁹ And again when another damsel had seen him, she began to say to men that stood about, That this is of them.^[a]

⁷⁰ And he again denied. And after a little, again they that stood nigh, said to Peter, Verily thou art of them, for thou art of Galilee also [And after a little, again they that were present, said to Peter, Verily thou art of them, for also thou art of Galilee].

⁷¹ But he began to curse and to swear, For I know not this man, of whom ye say.

⁷² And at once [And anon] again the cock crew. And Peter bethought on the word that Jesus had said to him, Before the cock crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me [Before that the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice]. And he began to weep.
