Luke 22:54-62

Luke 22:54-62 NCV

They arrested Jesus, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed far behind them. After the soldiers started a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat together, Peter sat with them. A servant girl saw Peter sitting there in the firelight, and looking closely at him, she said, “This man was also with him.” But Peter said this was not true; he said, “Woman, I don’t know him.” A short time later, another person saw Peter and said, “You are also one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!” About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with him, because he is from Galilee, too.” But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” At once, while Peter was still speaking, a rooster crowed. Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. And Peter remembered what the Lord had said: “Before the rooster crows this day, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” Then Peter went outside and cried painfully.
