Luke 22:59-63 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

59. About an hour later, another person spoke up. "This fellow must have been with Jesus," he said. "He is from Galilee."

60. Peter replied, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.

61. The Lord turned and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had spoken to him. "The rooster will crow today," Jesus had said. "Before it does, you will say three times that you don't know me."

62. Peter went outside. He broke down and sobbed.

63. There were men guarding Jesus. They began laughing at him and beating him.
