Mark 14:71 In-Context

69 And the female slave, [when she] saw him, began to say again to the bystanders, "This man is one of them!"

70 But he denied [it] again. And after a little [while], again the bystanders began to say to Peter, "You really are [one] of them, because you also are a Galilean, and your accent {shows it}!"

71 And he began to curse and to swear with an oath, "I do not know this man whom you are talking about!"

72 And immediately a rooster crowed for the second time. And Peter remembered the statement, how Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times," and throwing himself down, he began to weep.
