54 Then after capturing Yeshua, they led him along to the chief priest’s house, but Peter followed them from a distance. 55 The staff at the chief priest’s place had lit a fire to sit around in the middle of the courtyard, and Peter slipped in with them. 56 Then a servant girl noticed him in the light, and peering at him she said, “This man was with him as well.”

57 But Peter disowned him, saying, “Woman, I don’t even know him.”

58 A little while later, someone else noticed him and said, “You’re also one of them!”

“Man, I’m not!” Peter retorted.

59 About an hour later, someone else insisted on saying, “This fellow was definitely with him because he’s also a Galilean!”

60 “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Peter responded, and while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61 Just then the master turned and looked at Peter, and he suddenly remembered what the master had said, “Before the rooster crows today, three times you’ll deny even knowing me.” 62 Then Peter went out of the courtyard and cried like a baby.
