65. And some began to spit upon him, and cover up his face, and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy; and the officers struck him with the palms of their hands.
66. And Peter being below in the palace-court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest,
67. and seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, says, And thou wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.
68. But he denied, saying, I know not nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the vestibule; and a cock crew.
69. And the maid, seeing him, again began to say to those that stood by, This is one of them.
70. And he again denied. And again, after a little, those that stood by said to Peter, Truly thou art one of them, for also thou art a Galilean.
71. But he began to curse and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
72. And the second time a cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said to him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice; and when he thought thereon he wept.
