And Peter had followed Him at a distance, ^(C1)right into ^(C2)the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the ^(F1)officers and ^(C3)warming himself at the ^(F2)fire.

^(C1)And while Peter was below in ^(C2)the courtyard, one of the slave women of the high priest ^(*)came,

and seeing Peter ^(C1)warming himself, she looked at him and ^(*)said, "You were with Jesus the ^(C2)Nazarene as well."

But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are talking about." And he ^(C1)went out onto the ^(F1)porch.^(F2)

The slave woman saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, "This man is one of them!"

But again ^(C1)he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, "You really are one of them, ^(C2)for you are a Galilean as well."

But he began to ^(F1)curse himself and to swear, "I do not know this Man of whom you speak!"

And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, "Before ^(C1)a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And ^(F1)he hurried on and began to weep.
