Lucas 22

Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly

54 *Is. 53:7, 8; Matt. 26:57; Mark 14:53; Luke 9:44; Acts 8:32Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest’s house. *Matt. 26:58; Mark 14:54; John 18:15But Peter followed at a distance. 55 *Matt. 26:69–75; Mark 14:66–72; John 18:15, 17, 18Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. 56 And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, "This man was also with Him."

57 But he denied Him, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him."

58 *Matt. 26:71; Mark 14:69; John 18:25And after a little while another saw him and said, "You also are of them."

But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"

59 *Matt. 26:73; Mark 14:70; John 18:26Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a *Acts 1:11; 2:7Galilean."

60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying!"

Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then *Matt. 26:75; Mark 14:72Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, *Matt. 26:34, 75; Mark 14:30; Luke 22:34; John 13:38"Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."62 So Peter went out and wept bitterly.
