Matthew 26:73-75

New International Reader's Version

⁷³ 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.”

⁷⁴ Then Peter began to curse and said to them, “I don’t know the man!”

Right away a rooster crowed. ⁷⁵ 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.
