Mark 14:66-71 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

66. Peter was below in the courtyard. One of the high priest's female servants came by.

67. When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him. "You also were with Jesus, that Nazarene," she said.

68. But Peter said he had not been with him. "I don't know or understand what you're talking about," he said. He went out to the entrance to the courtyard.

69. The servant saw him there. She said again to those standing around, "This fellow is one of them."

70. Again he said he was not. After a little while, those standing nearby said to Peter, "You must be one of them. You are from Galilee."

71. He began to call down curses on himself. He took an oath and said to them, "I don't know this man you're talking about!"
