Matthew 26:73-75 English Standard Version (ESV)

73. After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for your accent betrays you.”

74. Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the rooster crowed.

75. And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
