55 and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them,

56 and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, 'And this one was with him!'

57 and he disowned him, saying, 'Woman, I have not known him.'

58 And after a little, another having seen him, said, 'And you are of them!' and Peter said, 'Man, I am not.'

59 And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, 'Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;'

60 and Peter said, 'Man, I have not known what you say;' and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew.

61 And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him -- 'Before a cock shall crow, you may disown me thrice;'

62 and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.
