Mark 14:54
14:54 And Peter had followed him from a distance, up to the high priest’s courtyard. He
was sitting with the guards
and warming himself by the fire.
Mark 14:66-72
Peter’s Denials
14:66 Now while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest’s slave girls came by.
14:67 When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked directly at him and said, “You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus.”
14:68 But he denied it: “I don’t even understand what you’re talking about!” Then he went out to the gateway, and a rooster crowed.
14:69 When the slave girl saw him, she began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.”
14:70 But he denied it again. A short time later the bystanders again said to Peter, “You must be one of them, because you are also a Galilean.”
14:71 Then he began to curse, and he swore with an oath, “I do not know this man you are talking about!”
14:72 Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him: “Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

Acts 4:8-13
4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit,
replied,
“Rulers of the people and elders,
4:9 if
we are being examined
today for a good deed
done to a sick man – by what means this man was healed
–
4:10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ
the Nazarene whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands before you healthy.
4:11 This Jesus
is
the stone that was rejected by you,
the builders, that has become the cornerstone.
4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among people
by which we must
be saved.”
4:13 When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and discovered that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were amazed and recognized these men had been with Jesus.
Philippians 1:14
1:14 and most of the brothers and sisters,
having confidence in the Lord
because of my imprisonment, now more than ever
dare to speak the word
fearlessly.
