And while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the slave women of the high priest came,

And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You were with Jesus the Nazarene as well."

And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

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

But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

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

And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

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

And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

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

But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

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

And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
