68. saying, “Prophesy for us, you Christ! Who hit you?”
69. Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A slave girl came to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
70. But he denied it in front of them all: “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
71. When he went out to the gateway, another slave girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.”
72. He denied it again with an oath, “I do not know the man!”
73. After a little while, those standing there came up to Peter and said, “You really are one of them too – even your accent gives you away!”
74. At that he began to curse, and he swore with an oath, “I do not know the man!” At that moment a rooster crowed.
75. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
