Luke 22:55-62

55When they had made a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56Then a slave girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, stared at him and said, “This man was with him too!”

57But Peter denied it: “Woman, I don’t know him!”

58Then a little later someone else saw him and said, “You are one of them too.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

59And after about an hour still another insisted, “Certainly this man was with him, because he too is a Galilean.”

60But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” At that moment, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

61Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.”

62And he went outside and wept bitterly.
