nsb - Matthew:26:69-75

nsb@Matthew:26:69 @ Peter was seated in the square outside the house, and a servant-girl came to him. She said: »You were with Jesus the Galilean.«

nsb@Matthew:26:70 @ In front of everybody, he replied: »I do not know what you are talking about.«

nsb@Matthew:26:71 @ When he reached the gate, another saw him and said: »This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.«

nsb@Matthew:26:72 @ Again he denied with an oath: »I have no knowledge of the man.«

nsb@Matthew:26:73 @ A few moments later, those who were near approached and said to Peter: »Indeed, you are one of them, because the way you speak gives you away.«

nsb@Matthew:26:74 @ Then with curses and oaths he said: »I do not know the man!« And immediately a rooster crowed.

nsb@Matthew:26:75 @ Peter remembered what Jesus told him: »Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times.« He went out and wept bitterly.
