54 Those who had taken Jesus prisoner took him away into the house of the High Priest. Peter followed at a distance.
55 But, when they had lit a fire in the center of the court-yard and had all sat down there, Peter seated himself in the middle of them.
56 Presently a maidservant saw him sitting near the blaze of the fire. Fixing her eyes on him, she said: "Why, this man was one of his companions!"
57 But Peter denied it. "I do not know him," he replied.
58 A little while afterwards some one else--a man--saw him and said: "Why, you are one of them!" "No," Peter said, "I am not."
59 About an hour later another man declared positively: "This man also was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean!"
60 But Peter said: "I do not know what you are speaking about." Instantly, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
61 And the Master turned and looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the words that the Master had said to him-- "Before a cock has crowed to-day, you will disown me three times";
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
