Matthew 26:67-75

671Then they 2spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others 3slapped Him, 68and said, “4Prophesy to us, You 5Christ; who is the one who hit You?”

696Now Peter was sitting outside in the 7courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.” 71When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.” 73A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Surely you too are one of them; 8for even the way you talk 9gives you away.” 74Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, “10Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
