Matthew 26:69-75

New Matthew Bible

⁶⁹ Peter was sitting out in the centre courtyard. And a maidservant came to him, saying, You also were with Jesus of Galilee. ⁷⁰ But he denied it before them all, saying, I don’t know what you are saying. ⁷¹ When he had gone out into the porch, another servant girl saw him and said to the people who were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. ⁷² And again Peter denied with an oath that he knew the man. ⁷³ And after a while, some people standing nearby came up and said to Peter, Surely you are also one of them, for your speech gives you away.

⁷⁴ Then he began to curse, and to swear that he did not know the man. And immediately the cock crew. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the words of Jesus, who had said to him, Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times. And he went out at the doors and wept bitterly.
