68. saying, “Prophesy for us, you Christ! Who is it who hit you?”
69. Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a female slave came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
70. But he denied it in the presence of them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean!”
71. And when he went out to the gateway, another female slave saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.”
72. And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man!”
73. And after a little while those who were standing there came up and said to Peter, “You really are one of them also, because even your accent reveals who you are.”
74. Then he began to curse and to swear with an oath, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
75. And Peter remembered the statement Jesus had said, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times,” and he went outside and wept bitterly.
