56
THE FIRST DENIAL OF PETROS
And a lass sees him as he sits by the light and stares at him, and says, This one is also with him.
57 And he denies him, wording, Woman, I know him not.
58
THE SECOND DENIAL OF PETROS

59
THE THIRD DENIAL OF PETROS And one hour passes and another thoroughly affirms, wording, Of a truth this one also is with him: for he is a Galiliy.

61 and Adonay turns and looks on Petros: and Petros remembers the word of Adonay - how he said to him, Ere the rooster voices, you deny me thrice.
62 - and Petros goes out, and weeps bitterly.
