New International Version NIV
69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
69
Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.
70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
70
But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.
71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
71
Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
72
He denied it again, with an oath: “I don’t know the man!”
73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
73
After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
74
Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately a rooster crowed.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him,Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
75
Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
