Mark 14:66-72

Peter’s Denials

66 ^aAnd as Peter was below in ^bthe courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest *came, 67 and seeing Peter ^awarming himself, she looked at him and *said, “You also were with the ^bNazarene, Jesus.” 68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.” And he ^awent out into the entryway.¹ 69 And when the servant-girl saw him, she began once more to say to the bystanders, “This is one of them!” 70 But again ^ahe was denying it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, ^bfor you are also a Galilean.” 71 But he began to ¹curse and swear, “I do not know this man you are talking about!” 72 And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said the statement to him, “Before ^aa rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” ¹And throwing himself down, he began to cry.
