Mark 14:66-72

Peter's Denials

66 ¹As Peter was below in ²the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came,

67 and seeing Peter ³warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus the ⁴Nazarene."

68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are talking about." And he ⁵went 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 ⁶he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, "Surely you are one of them, ⁷for 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 ⁸a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And he began to weep.
