Mark 14:68-72

Living Bible

⁶⁸ Peter denied it. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” he said, and walked over to the edge of the courtyard.

Just then, a rooster crowed.^[a]

⁶⁹ The maid saw him standing there and began telling the others, “There he is! There’s that disciple of Jesus!”

⁷⁰ Peter denied it again.

A little later others standing around the fire began saying to Peter, “You are, too, one of them, for you are from Galilee!”

⁷¹ He began to curse and swear. “I don’t even know this fellow you are talking about,” he said.

⁷² And immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Suddenly Jesus’ words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he began to cry.
