Context
26:66 What is your verdict ?” They answered , “He is guilty and deserves death .”
26:67 Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists . And some slapped him,
26:68 saying , “Prophesy for us , you Christ ! Who hit you ?”
Peter’s Denials
26:69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard . A slave girl came to him and said , “You also were with Jesus the Galilean .”
26:70 But he denied it in front of them all : “I don’t know what you’re talking about !”
26:71 When he went out to the gateway , another slave girl saw him and said to the people there , “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene .”
26:72 He denied it again with an oath , “I do not know the man !”
26:73 After a little while , those standing there came up to Peter and said , “You really are one of them too– even your accent gives you away !”
26:74 At that he began to curse , and he swore with an oath, “I do not know the man !” At that moment a rooster crowed .
26:75 Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said : “Before the rooster crows , you will deny me three times .” And he went outside and wept bitterly .
