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 Prendendo-o, eles o levaram e introduziram na casa do sumo sacerdote; e Pedro ia seguindo de longe.

55 Eles, tendo-se acendido fogo no meio do pátio, sentaram-se, e Pedro sentou-se no meio deles.

56 Uma criada, vendo-o sentado ao lume, o encarou e disse: Este também estava com ele.

57 Mas Pedro negou, dizendo: Não o conheço, mulher.

58 Daí a pouco, vendo-o um outro, disse: Também tu és dos tais. Respondeu Pedro: Homem, não sou.

59 Tendo passado cerca de uma hora, afirmou ainda outro: Certamente este andava com ele, porque também é galileu.

60 Respondeu Pedro: Homem, não sei o que estás dizendo. Logo, estando ele ainda a falar, cantou o galo.

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

62 E saindo para fora, chorou amargamente.
