57. But he denied it and said, Woman, I do not know Him!
58. And a little later someone else saw him and said, You are one of them also. But Peter said, Man, I am not!
59. And when about an hour more had elapsed, still another emphatically insisted, It is the truth that this man also was with Him, for he too is a Galilean!
60. But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are talking about. And instantly, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed.
61. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter recalled the Lord's words, how He had told him, Before the cock crows today, you will deny Me thrice.
62. And he went out and wept bitterly [that is, with painfully moving grief].
63. Now the men who had Jesus in custody treated Him with contempt and scoffed at and ridiculed Him and beat Him;
64. They blindfolded Him also and asked Him, Prophesy! Who is it that struck You?

68. And if I question you, you will not answer.
