61Then the Lord turned and looked directly at Peter. Peter remembered what the Lord had said: “Before a rooster crows today, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” 62Then Peter went outside and cried bitterly. The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him as they beat him. 64They blindfolded him and said to him, “Tell us who hit you.” 65They also insulted him in many other ways.
