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.

54 And they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off. 55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them. 56 And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him. 57 But he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not. 58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. 59 And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilæan. 60 But Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. 61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice. 62 And he went out, and wept bitterly.
