54 Prenderam-no então e conduziram-no à casa do príncipe dos sacerdotes. Pedro seguia-o de longe.
55 Acenderam um fogo no meio do pátio, e sentaram-se em redor. Pedro veio sentar-se com eles.
56 Uma criada percebeu-o sentado junto ao fogo, encarou-o de perto e disse: Também este homem estava com ele.
57 Mas ele negou-o: Mulher, não o conheço.
58 Pouco depois, viu-o outro e disse-lhe: Também tu és um deles. Pedro respondeu: Não, eu não o sou.
59 Passada quase uma hora, afirmava um outro: Certamente também este homem estava com ele, pois também é galileu.
60 Mas Pedro disse: Meu amigo, não sei o que queres dizer. E no mesmo instante, quando ainda falava, cantou o galo.
61 Voltando-se o Senhor, olhou para Pedro. Então Pedro se lembrou da palavra do Senhor: Hoje, antes que o galo cante, negar-me-ás três vezes.
62 Saiu dali e chorou amargamente.
54 And having taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off,
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 thou art 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 thou sayest; 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, thou mayest disown me thrice;
62 and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.
