Read Mark 14 in full →Peter’s Denials
66aAnd as Peter was below in bthe courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest *came, 67and seeing Peter awarming himself, she looked at him and *said, “You also were with the bNazarene, Jesus.” 68But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.” And he awent out into the entryway.1 69And when the servant-girl saw him, she began once more to say to the bystanders, “This is one of them!” 70But again ahe was denying it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, bfor you are also a Galilean.” 71But he began to 1curse and swear, “I do not know this man you are talking about!” 72And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said the statement to him, “Before aa rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” 1And throwing himself down, he began to cry.
