PETER DENIES JESUS

 

Luke 22

 34And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.


 54Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

   55And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

   56But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

   57And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

   58And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

   59And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.

   60And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

   61And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

   62And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
