Peter Denies Jesus Three Times

69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a female slave came up to him and[fn] said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70 But he denied it[fn] in the presence of them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean!” 71 And when he[fn] went out to the gateway, another female slave[fn] saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.” 72 And again he denied it[fn] with an oath, “I do not know the man!” 73 And after a little while those who were standing there came up and[fn] said to Peter, “You really are one of them also, because even your accent reveals who you are.”[fn] 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[fn] wept bitterly.
