Peter’s Denials

^66 (A)And while Peter was below in ^(B)the courtyard, one of the slave women of the high priest *came, ⁶⁷ and seeing Peter ^(C)warming himself, she looked at him and *said, “You were with Jesus the ^(D)Nazarene as well.” ⁶⁸ But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.” And he ^(E)went out onto the ^[a]porch.^{[b] 69} The slave woman saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them!” ⁷⁰ But again ^(F)he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, “You really are one of them, ^(G)for you are a Galilean as well.” ⁷¹ But he began to ^[c]curse himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!” ⁷² And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, “Before ^(H)a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And ^[d]he hurried on and began to weep.
