Matthew 26:71-75 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

71. When Peter had gone out to the gate, another servant girl saw him and said to some people there, “This man was with Jesus from Nazareth.”

72. Again Peter denied it, and this time he swore, “I don't even know that man!”

73. A little while later some people standing there walked over to Peter and said, “We know that you are one of them. We can tell it because you talk like someone from Galilee.”

74. Peter began to curse and swear, “I don't know that man!”At once a cock crowed,

75. and Peter remembered that Jesus had said, “Before a cock crows, you will say three times that you don't know me.” Then Peter went out and cried hard.
