54 And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.

55 And a fire was lighted in the middle of the open square, and they were seated together, and Peter was among them.

56 And a certain woman-servant, seeing him in the light of the fire, and looking at him with attention, said, This man was with him.

57 But he said, Woman, it is not true; I have no knowledge of him.

58 And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not.

59 And after about an hour, another man said, with decision, Certainly this man was with him, for he is a Galilaean.

60 And Peter said, Man, I have no knowledge of these things of which you are talking. And straight away, while he was saying these words, there came the cry of a cock.

61 And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.

62 And he went out, weeping bitterly.

54 Après avoir saisi Jésus, ils l'emmenèrent, et le conduisirent dans la maison du souverain sacrificateur. Pierre suivait de loin.

55 Ils allumèrent du feu au milieu de la cour, et ils s'assirent. Pierre s'assit parmi eux.

56 Une servante, qui le vit assis devant le feu, fixa sur lui les regards, et dit: Cet homme était aussi avec lui.

57 Mais il le nia disant: Femme, je ne le connais pas.

58 Peu après, un autre, l'ayant vu, dit: Tu es aussi de ces gens-là. Et Pierre dit: Homme, je n'en suis pas.

59 Environ une heure plus tard, un autre insistait, disant: Certainement cet homme était aussi avec lui, car il est Galiléen.

60 Pierre répondit: Homme, je ne sais ce que tu dis. Au même instant, comme il parlait encore, le coq chanta.

61 Le Seigneur, s'étant retourné, regarda Pierre. Et Pierre se souvint de la parole que le Seigneur lui avait dite: Avant que le coq chante aujourd'hui, tu me renieras trois fois.

62 Et étant sorti, il pleura amèrement.
