68
saying, `Declare to us, O Christ, who he is that struck thee?'
69
And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, `And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!'
70
And he denied before all, saying, `I have not known what thou sayest.'
71
And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth;'
72
and again did he deny with an oath -- `I have not known the man.'
73
And after a little those standing near having come, said to Peter, `Truly thou also art of them, for even thy speech doth make thee manifest.'
74
Then began he to anathematise, and to swear -- `I have not known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow,
75
and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him -- `Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;' and having gone without, he did weep bitterly.
