Matthew 26:72-74

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷² Peter answered again very strongly. He said, ‘I promise you, I really do not know that man!’

⁷³ After a little time, other people who were standing at the gate spoke to Peter. They said, ‘We are sure that you too are one of that man's friends. We know this because you speak like people who live in Galilee.’

⁷⁴ Peter said to them very strongly, ‘I tell you that I do not know that man. God will surely punish me if this is not true!’

Immediately after Peter said this, the cockerel sang.
