COCK-CROWING
kok'-kro-ing (alektorophonia):
An indefinite hour of the night between midnight and morning (Mark 13:35), referred to by all the evangelists in their account of Peter's denial (Matthew 26:34,74; Mark 14:30; Luke 22:34; John 13:38). It is derived from the habit of the cock to crow especially toward morning.
