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 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 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 The servant girl saw him again and began to say to those who stood by, “This man is one of them.” ⁷⁰ 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 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.

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 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.
