Mark 14:64-72

64 "You have heard the ¹blasphemy; how does it seem to you?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

65 Some began to ²spit at Him, and ³to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, "⁴Prophesy!" And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.

Peter's Denials

66 ⁵As Peter was below in ⁶the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came,

67 and seeing Peter ⁷warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus the ⁸Nazarene."

68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are talking about." And he ⁹went out onto the porch. and a rooster crowed.871

69 The servant-girl saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, "This is one of them!"

70 But again ¹⁰he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, "Surely you are one of them, ¹¹for you are a Galilean too."

71 But he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this man you are talking about!"

72 Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, "Before ¹²a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And he began to weep.
