54 Então, prendendo-o, o levaram e o introduziram na casa do sumo sacerdote. Pedro seguia de longe. 55 E, quando acenderam fogo no meio do pátio e juntos se assentaram, Pedro tomou lugar entre eles. 56 Entrementes, uma criada, vendo-o assentado perto do fogo, fitando-o, disse: Este também estava com ele. 57 Mas Pedro negava, dizendo: Mulher, não o conheço. 58 Pouco depois, vendo-o outro, disse: Também tu és dos tais. Pedro, porém, protestava: Homem, não sou. 59 E, tendo passado cerca de uma hora, outro afirmava, dizendo: Também este, verdadeiramente, estava com ele, porque também é galileu. 60 Mas Pedro insistia: Homem, não compreendo o que dizes. E logo, estando ele ainda a falar, cantou o galo. 61 Então, voltando-se o Senhor, fixou os olhos em Pedro, e Pedro se lembrou da palavra do Senhor, como lhe dissera: Hoje, três vezes me negarás, antes de cantar o galo. 62 Então, Pedro, saindo dali, chorou amargamente.

54 And they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off. 55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them. 56 And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him. 57 But he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not. 58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. 59 And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilæan. 60 But Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. 61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice. 62 And he went out, and wept bitterly.

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.
