*
Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard .
And a servant girl came to him ,
saying , "
You also were with Jesus of Galilee ."
*
But he denied it before them all ,
saying , "
I do not know what you are saying ."
*
And when he had gone out to the gateway ,
another girl saw him and said to those who were there , "
This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth ."
*
But again he denied with an oath , "
I do not know the Man !"
*
And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter , "
Surely you also are one of them ,
for your speech betrays you ."
*
Then he began to curse and swear ,
saying , "
I do not know the Man !"
Immediately a rooster crowed .
*
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him , "
Before the rooster crows ,
you will deny Me three times ."
So he went out and wept bitterly .
