Mat 26:70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean.”
Mat 26:71 And when he went out to the porch, another maid saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
Mat 26:72 And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.”
Mat 26:73 After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you.”
Mat 26:74 Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the cock crowed.
Mat 26:75 And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, “Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
