   67 (Mk 14:54) When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said,   
   "You also were with Jesus of Nazareth."   
   68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand   
   what you are saying." Then he went out to the porch, and a rooster crowed.   
   69 The servant girl saw him again and began to say to those who stood by,   
   "This man is one of them."   
   70 (Ac 2:7) But again, he denied it.   
   A little while later, those who stood by said again to Peter,   
   "Surely, you are one of them.   
   For you are a Galilean, and your speech confirms it."   
   71 Peter began to invoke a curse on himself, and to swear,   
   "I do not know this Man of whom you speak."   
   72 (Mk 14:30; 14:68) And the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter called   
   to mind the word that Jesus said to him,   
   "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times."   
   And when he thought on this, he wept.   
      
   [66] And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids   
   of the high priest:   
   [67] And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said,   
   And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.   
   [68] But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou   
   sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.   
   [69] And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This   
   is one of them.   
   [70] And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said   
   again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and   
   thy speech agreeth thereto.   
   [71] But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom   
   ye speak.   
   [72] And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word   
   that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me   
   thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.   
      
   Matthew 26:69-75   
      
   Peter's Denial of Jesus   
   Mk 14:66-72; Lk 22:56-62; Jn 18:15-18, 25-27   
      
   69 (Mt 26:71) Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard.   
   And a girl came to him, saying, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."   
   70 But he denied it before them all, saying,   
   "I do not know what you are saying."   
   71 Then when he went out onto the porch, another girl saw him   
   and said to those who were there, "This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth."   
   72 Again he denied with an oath, "I do not know the Man."   
   73 (Jdg 12:6) After a while those who stood by came to Peter and said,   
   "Surely you also are one of them, for your accent betrays you."   
   74 Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and he swore,   
   "I do not know the Man."   
   Then immediately a rooster crowed.   
   75 (Mt 26:34; Jn 13:38) Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken,   
   "Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."   
   Then he went out and wept bitterly.   
      
   [69] Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him,   
   saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.   
   [70] But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.   
   [71] And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said   
   unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.   
   [72] And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.   
   [73] And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter,   
   Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.   
   [74] Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And   
   immediately the cock crew.   
   [75] And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the   
   cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.   
      
   Luke 22:54-65   
      
   Peter's Denial of Jesus   
   Mt 26:57-58, 69-75; Mk 14:53-54, 66-72; Jn18:12-18, 25-27   
      
   54 (Mt 26:57-58; Mk 14:53-54) Then they arrested Him, and led Him away,   
   and brought Him into the high priest's house. Peter followed at a distance.   
   55 But when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard   
   and sat down together, Peter sat among them.   
   56 Then a servant girl saw him as he sat near the fire,   
   and gazed at him, and said, "This man was with Him."   
   57 But he denied Him, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him."   
   58 A little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them."   
   Peter said, "Man, I am not!"   
   59 About an hour later another man firmly declared,   
   "Certainly, this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean."   
   60 Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying."   
   Immediately, while he was yet speaking, the rooster crowed.   
   61 (Lk 22:34) The Lord turned and looked at Peter.   
   Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him,   
   "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."   
   62 And Peter went outside and wept bitterly.   
      
   [54] Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's   
   house. And Peter followed afar off.   
   [55] And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set   
   down together, Peter sat down among them.   
   [56] But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly   
   looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.   
   [57] And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.   
   [58] And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of   
   them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.   
   [59] And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed,   
   saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.   
   [60] And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately,   
   while he yet spake, the cock crew.   
   [61] And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the   
   word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt   
   deny me thrice.   
   [62] And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.   
      
   The Mocking and Whipping of Jesus   
   Mt 26:67-68; Mk 14:65   
      
   63 (Jn 18:22) The men who guarded Jesus mocked Him and whipped Him.   
   64 When they had blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face and asked Him,   
   "Prophesy! Who struck You?"   
   65 And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him.   
      
   [66] And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief   
   priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council,   
   saying,   
   [67] Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye   
   will not believe:   
   [68] And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.   
   [69] Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of   
   God.   
   [70] Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto   
   them, Ye say that I am.   
   [71] And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have   
   heard of his own mouth.   
      
   John 18:25-27   
      
   Peter Denies Jesus Again   
   Mt 26:71-75; Mk 14:69-72; Lk 22:58-62   
      
   25 Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to   
   him, "Are you not also one of His disciples?"   
   He denied it and said, "I am not!"   
   26 (Jn 18:1; 18:10) One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative   
   of the man whose ear Peter cut off, said,   
   "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"   
   27 (Jn 13:38) Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.   
      
   [25] And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him,   
   Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.   
   [26] One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear   
   Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?   
   [27] Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
