Peter Denies His Lord

⁶⁹ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard.^(A) A servant girl approached him and said, “You were with Jesus the Galilean too.”

¹⁶ But Peter remained standing outside by the door. So the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the girl who was the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.

¹⁷ Then the servant girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?”

“I am not,” he said.

¹³ He knocked at the door of the outer gate, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer.

¹⁴ She recognized Peter’s voice, and because of her joy, she did not open the gate but ran in and announced that Peter was standing at the outer gate.
