Again he said he was not. With a curse he said,“ I don’t know the man!”

彼得又不承认，并且起誓说：“我不认得那个人。”

彼得又不承认，起誓说：“我不认得那个人。”

彼得又弗承、且誓曰、我不識其人也、

彼得復不承、且誓曰、我不識其人也、

彼得復諱之曰、我不識其人、

伯鐸祿復否認、並誓曰：『予不識其人也。』

He denied it again, with an oath:“ I don’t know the man!”

And again he denied it with an oath:“ I do not know the man.”

Again Peter denied it, this time with an oath.“ I don’t even know the man,” he said.

And again he denied it with an oath:“ I don’t know the man!”

And again he denied it, with an oath:“ I do not know the man.”

But again he denied with an oath,“ I do not know the Man!”

And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.

And again he denied it with an oath,“ I don’t know the man!”

And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

He denied it again with an oath,“ I do not know the man!”

Again he denied it with an oath,“ I don’t know the man.”

But here is what I tell you. Do not make any promises like that at all. Do not make them in the name of heaven. That is God’s throne.Do not make them in the name of the earth. That is the stool for God’s feet. Do not make them in the name of Jerusalem. That is the city of the Great King.And do not make a promise in your own name. You can’t make even one hair of your head white or black.

Jesus answered,“ I tell you, Peter, you will say three times that you don’t know me. And you will do it before the rooster crows today.”

“ So I will come and put you on trial. I will be quick to bring charges against all of you,” says the Lord who rules over all.“ I will bring charges against you sinful people who do not have any respect for me. That includes those who practice evil magic. It includes those who commit adultery and those who tell lies in court. It includes those who cheat workers out of their pay. It includes those who treat widows badly. It also includes those who mistreat children whose fathers have died. And it includes those who take away the rights of outsiders in the courts.

“ Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will find guilty anyone who misuses his name.

Do not make evil plans against one another. When you promise to tell the truth, do not lie. Many people love to do that. But I hate all these things,” announces the Lord.

People of Jacob, listen to me. You are called by the name of Israel. You come from the family line of Judah. You make promises in the name of the Lord. You pray to Israel’s God. But you aren’t honest. You don’t mean what you say.

Then Peter said,“ Ananias, why did you let Satan fill your heart? He made you lie to the Holy Spirit. You have kept some of the money you received for the land.Didn’t the land belong to you before it was sold? After it was sold, you could have used the money as you wished. What made you think of doing such a thing? You haven’t lied just to people. You’ve also lied to God.”

He said to me,“ A curse sent by the Lord is written on it. It is going out over the whole land. Every thief will be driven out of the land. That is what it says on one side of the scroll. Everyone who lies when promising to tell the truth will also be driven out. That is what it says on the other side.The Lord who rules over all announces,‘ I will send the curse out. It will enter the house of the thief. It will also enter the house of anyone who lies when making a promise in my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely. It will pull down its beams and stones.’ ”

Then Peter began to curse and said to them,“ I don’t know the man!” Right away a rooster crowed.
