Now, Peter, was sitting without, in the court; and there came unto him a certain female servant, saying - Thou also, wast with Jesus, the Galilaean.

But, he, denied before all, saying - I know not what thou sayest.

And, when he went out into the porch, another female saw him, and said unto them who were there - This, one was with Jesus the Nazarene.

And, again, he denied, with an oath - I know not the man.

And, after a little, the by-standers, coming forward, said unto Peter: Truly, thou also, art, from among them, for, thy very speech, maketh thee, manifest.

Then, began he to be cursing and swearing - I know not the man! And, straightway, a cock crowed.

And Peter was put in mind of the declaration of Jesus, of his having said - Before a cock crow, thrice, wilt thou utterly deny me; and, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.
