Peter’s Denials
69 (A)Now Peter was sitting outside in the (B)courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.” 71 And when he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and *said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72 And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.” 73 A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Surely you too are one of them; (C)for even the way you talk [a]gives you away.” 74 Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, “(D)Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and cried bitterly.

Peter Denies Jesus Three Times
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a female slave came up to him and[a] said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70 But he denied it[b] in the presence of them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean!” 71 And when he[c] went out to the gateway, another female slave[d] saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.” 72 And again he denied it[e] with an oath, “I do not know the man!” 73 And after a little while those who were standing there came up and[f] said to Peter, “You really are one of them also, because even your accent reveals who you are.”[g] 74 Then he began to curse and to swear with an oath, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the statement Jesus had said, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times,” and he went outside and[h] wept bitterly.
