What think you? But they answering, said: He is guilty of death.
67
Then did they spit in his face and buffeted him. And others struck his face with the palms of their hands,
68
Saying: Prophesy unto us, O Christ. Who is he that struck thee?
69
But Peter sat without in the court. And there came to him a servant maid, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean.
70
But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what thou sayest.
71
And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him; and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.
72
And again he denied with an oath: I know not the man.
73
And after a little while, they came that stood by and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them. For even thy speech doth discover thee.
74
Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which he had said: Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And going forth, he wept bitterly.
