Three times I was beaten with a rod. Once I received a stoning. Three times I suffered shipwreck. A night and a day I spent adrift in the open sea.

This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into heaven.

This happened three times, and then everything was pulled up to heaven again.

I asked the Lord three times about this, that it would depart from me.

Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me.”

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.

Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth, today – this very night – before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”

Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? I tell you the solemn truth, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!

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.

Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.”
