Context of Luke 22:61
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. Then 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. 63Now the men who were holding Jesus under guard began to mock him and beat him.
