Contextual Overview

54They arrested Jesus and took him straight to the high preacher's house.Pete followed at a distance, trying to see where they would take Jesus. 55Some men had started a fire in the yard of the high preacher's place and were warming themselves. Pete joined them around the fire but said nothing. 56A maid who worked for the high preacher saw him and said, "That cowboy right there rides with Jesus." 57But Pete shook his head and said, "I don't even know who you are talking about, lady." 58A little while later, someone else recognized him and said, "You are one of Jesus's cowboys aren't you?"But Pete said, "No! Why would you think such a stupid thing?" 59About an hour later, another person said, "This guy rode with Jesus. Anyone could tell he's from Galilee." 60But Pete again said, "Why does everyone keep saying I know this man? I don't!"Just then, while the words were still tumbling from his mouth, a rooster crowed. 61Jesus turned and looked directly at Pete from across the yard. Pete then remembered what Jesus had said, "Before the cock crows in the morning, there will be three times that you deny riding with me." 62Pete ran out of the yard and cried like he'd never cried before.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Peter said, man, I know not what thou sayest,.... Suggesting, that he was so far from being a follower of Jesus, or a disciple of his, and from having any personal acquaintance with him, that he did not know what he was talking of, or at least could not understand what he meant by this harangue, or by talking after this manner about him; and then began to curse and swear, and wish the most dreadful things to befall him, if he knew any thing of Jesus of Nazareth:

and immediately while he yet spake: in this shocking manner, with his mouth full of oaths, curses, and imprecations:

the cock crew; the second time, Mark 14:72.
