66 While Peter was down below in the courtyard, one of the [serving] maids of the high priest came; 67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she gazed intently at him and said, You were with Jesus of Nazareth too. 68 But he denied it 1 falsely and disowned Him, saying, I neither know nor understand what you say. Then he went outside [the courtyard and was] into the 2 vestibule. 3 And a cock crowed. 69 And the maidservant saw him, and began again to say to the bystanders, This [man] is [one] of them. 70 But again he denied it 4 falsely and disowned Him. And after a short while, again the bystanders said to Peter, 4 Really, you are one of them, for you are a Galilean 6 and your dialect shows it. 71 Then he commenced invoking a curse on himself [should he not be telling the truth] and swearing, I do not know the Man about Whom you are talking! 72 And at once for the second time a cock crowed. And Peter remembered how Jesus said to him, Before a cock crows twice, you will 7 utterly deny Me [disclaiming all connection with Me] three times. And 8 having put his thought upon it [and remembering], he broke down and wept aloud and 9 lamented.
