“ Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to him,“ today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”

Peter was below in the courtyard. One of the high priest’s female servants came by.When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him.“ You also were with Jesus, that Nazarene,” she said.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.The servant saw him there. She said again to those standing around,“ This fellow is one of them.”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.”Then Peter began to curse. He said to them,“ I don’t know this man you’re talking about!”Right away the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had spoken to him.“ The rooster will crow twice,” he had said.“ Before it does, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” Peter broke down and cried.

So be careful. When you think you are standing firm, you might fall.

God called the light“ day.” He called the darkness“ night.” There was evening, and there was morning. It was day one.

Then the men arrested Jesus and led him away. They took him into the high priest’s house. Peter followed from far away.Some people there started a fire in the middle of the courtyard. Then they sat down together. Peter sat down with them.A female servant saw him sitting there in the firelight. She looked closely at him. Then she said,“ This man was with Jesus.”But Peter said he had not been with him.“ Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.A little later someone else saw Peter.“ You also are one of them,” he said.“ No,” Peter replied.“ I’m not!”About an hour later, another person spoke up.“ This fellow must have been with Jesus,” he said.“ He is from Galilee.”Peter replied,“ Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.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.”Peter went outside. He broke down and cried.

She asked Peter,“ You aren’t one of Jesus’ disciples too, are you?”“ I am not,” he replied.

Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself by the fire. So they asked him,“ You aren’t one of Jesus’ disciples too, are you?” He said,“ I am not.”One of the high priest’s slaves was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off. He said to Peter,“ Didn’t I see you with Jesus in the garden?”Again Peter said no. At that exact moment a rooster began to crow.

Peter was sitting out in the courtyard. A female servant came to him.“ You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.But in front of all of them, Peter said he was not.“ I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.Then he went out to the gate leading into the courtyard. There another servant saw him. She said to the people,“ This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”Again he said he was not. With a curse he said,“ I don’t know the man!”After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter.“ You must be one of them,” they said.“ The way you talk gives you away.”Then Peter began to curse and said to them,“ I don’t know the man!” Right away a rooster crowed.Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said.“ The rooster will crow,” Jesus had told him.“ Before it does, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” Peter went outside. He broke down and cried.

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.”
