Mark 14:71 In-Context

69 The female servant saw him and began a second time to say to those standing around, "This man is one of them."

70 But he denied it again. A short time later, those standing around again said to Peter, "You must be one of them, because you are also a Galilean."

71 But he cursed and swore, "I don't know this man you're talking about."

72 At that very moment, a rooster crowed a second time. Peter remembered what Jesus told him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down, sobbing.
