54 They arrested him and led him away, taking him to the chief priest’s house. Peter followed at a distance. 55 They started a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down by it. Peter was there among them. 56 As he sat there, a servant girl noticed him in the firelight, and stared directly at him and said, 57 "This man was with him." But Peter denied it. "Woman, I don’t know him!" he said.
58 A little later someone else looked at him and said, "You’re also one of them." "No, I’m not!" Peter replied. 59 About an hour later, another person insisted, "I’m sure he was with him too—he’s a Galilean." 60 "I’ve no idea what you’re talking about!" Peter replied. Right then, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed. The Lord turned and looked at Peter. 61 And Peter remembered what the Lord had said, how he’d told him: "Before the cock crows today, you’ll deny me three times."
