rsv Matthew:26:69-75
rsv@Matthew:26:69 @ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a maid came up to him, and said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."
rsv@Matthew:26:70 @ But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you mean."
rsv@Matthew:26:71 @ And when he went out to the porch, another maid saw him, and she said to the bystanders, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."
rsv@Matthew:26:72 @ And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."
rsv@Matthew:26:73 @ After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Certainly you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you."
rsv@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know the man." And immediately the cock crowed.
rsv@Matthew:26:75 @ And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, "Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.
