Peter Denies Knowing Jesus
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 betrayeth 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. |
