53. Day after day when I was with you in the temple courts, you did not arrest me. But this is your hour, and that of the power of darkness!”
54. Then they arrested Jesus, led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter was following at a distance.

57. But Peter denied it: “Woman, I don’t know him!”

60. But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” At that moment, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
