Luke 22:59-66 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

59. About an hour later, another man insisted, “It is true! This man was with him. He is from Galilee!”

60. But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!”Immediately, while Peter was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

61. Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. And Peter remembered what the Lord had said: “Before the rooster crows tonight, you will say three times that you don’t know me.”

62. Then Peter went outside and cried with much pain in his heart.

63-64. Some men were guarding Jesus. They made fun of him like this: They covered his eyes so that he could not see them. Then they hit him and said, “Prove that you are a prophet, and tell us who hit you!”

65. The men said many cruel things to Jesus.

66. When day came, the elders of the people, the leading priests, and the teachers of the law came together. They led Jesus away to their highest court.
