54 And having laid hold on him, they led him {away}, and they led {him} into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.

55 And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

56 And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this {man} was with him.

57 But he denied {him}, saying, Woman, I do not know him.

58 And after a short time another seeing him said, And *thou* art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

59 And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this {man} also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.

60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, {the} cock crew.

61 And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before {the} cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.

62 And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly.

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.

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.
