Matthew 26:69-75
1599 Geneva Bible
69 ¶ (A)[a]Peter [b]sat without in the hall, and a maid came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee:
70 But he denied before them all, saying, I wot not what thou sayest.
71 And when he went out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 And again he denied with an oath, saying, I know not the man.
73 So after a while, came unto him they that stood by, and said unto Peter, Surely thou art also one of them: for even thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74 Then began he to [c]curse himself, and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 Then Peter remembered the words of Jesus, which had said unto him, Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. So he went out, and wept bitterly.
