When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, “This man is calling for Elijah.”

Jesus stopped, called them, and said, “What do you want me to do for you?”

At that he began to curse, and he swore with an oath, “I do not know the man!” At that moment a rooster crowed.

Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth, on this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”

Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
