54 Então, prendendo-o, o levaram e o introduziram na casa do sumo sacerdote; e Pedro seguia-o de longe.

55 E tendo eles acendido fogo no meio do pátio e havendo-se sentado à roda, sentou-se Pedro entre eles.

56

57 Mas Pedro o negou, dizendo: Mulher, não o conheço.

58 Daí a pouco, outro o viu, e disse: Tu também és um deles. Mas Pedro disse: Homem, não sou.

59 E, tendo passado quase uma hora, outro afirmava, dizendo: Certamente este também estava com ele, pois é galileu.

60 Mas Pedro respondeu: Homem, não sei o que dizes. E imediatamente estando ele ainda a falar, cantou o galo.

61 Virando-se o Senhor, olhou para Pedro; e Pedro lembrou-se da palavra do Senhor, como lhe havia dito: Hoje, antes que o galo cante, três vezes me negarás.

62 E, havendo saído, chorou amargamente.

54 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance.

55 And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them.

56 A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, "This man was with him."

57 But he denied it. "Woman, I don't know him," he said.

58 A little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them." "Man, I am not!" Peter replied.

59 About an hour later another asserted, "Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean."

60 Peter replied, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.

61 The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times."

62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
