Context of Luke 22:59

57Peter replied, ‘Woman, that is not true! I do not even know him.’ 58After a short time, someone else looked at him. ‘You also are one of their group,’ he said. Peter replied, ‘Man, I am not one of them.’ After about an hour, another man said, ‘I am sure that this man was a friend of Jesus. He also is from Galilee.’ 60Peter replied, ‘Man, I do not know what you are talking about.’ While Peter was still speaking, a cockerel sang loudly. 61Then the Lord Jesus turned round and he looked at Peter. Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him: ‘You will say tonight that you do not know me. You will say it three times before the cockerel sings in the morning.’
