Context of Luke 22:61
59After 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. Then 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.’ 62Then Peter went out of the yard and he wept a lot. 63The men that were holding Jesus were laughing at him. They hit him many times.
