66 Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came.
66 And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest;
66 And when Simon was below in the courtyard, there came a young maidservant of the high priest;
67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus the Nazarene."
67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, [even] Jesus.
68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are saying."And he went outside into the forecourt, and a rooster crowed.
68 But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
69 And the servant girl seeing him again, began to say to those standing by, "This [man] is one of them."
69 Then again, when a maidservant had seen him, she began to say to the bystanders, “For this is one of them.”
69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.
70 But again he was denying [it]. And a little later those who were standing by said to Peter again, "Truly you are one of them; for you are also a Galilean, and your accent is like [theirs]."
70 But he again denied it. And after a little while again they that stood by said to Peter, of a truth thou art [one] of them; for thou art a Galilaean.
71 Then he began to curse and to swear, "I do not know this Man whom you are speaking of"
71 But he began to curse, and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
72 And for the second [time] a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times."And when he thought about it, he began to weep.
72 And straightway the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word, how that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
