55. But when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56. Then a servant girl saw him as he sat near the fire, and gazed at him, and said, “This man was with Him.”
57. But he denied Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”
58. A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
59. About an hour later another man firmly declared, “Certainly, this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean.”
60. Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” Immediately, while he was yet speaking, the rooster crowed.
61. The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
