55 When they had made a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
56 Then a slave girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, stared at him and said, “This man was with him too!”
57 But Peter denied it: “Woman, I don’t know him!”
58 Then a little later someone else saw him and said, “You are one of them too.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
59 And after about an hour still another insisted, “Certainly this man was with him, because he too is a Galilean.”
60 But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” At that moment, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 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.”
