Matthew 26:72-74

Expanded Bible

⁷² Again, ·Peter said he was never with him, saying, “I swear [^Lhe denied it with an oath, saying,] I don’t know this man Jesus!”

⁷³ A short time later, some people standing there went to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of those who followed Jesus. The way you talk shows it [^CPeter’s Galilean accent gave him away].”

⁷⁴ Then Peter began to place a curse on himself and swear, “I don’t know the man.” At once, a rooster crowed.
