54 They seized him and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance. 55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat among them. 56 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."

57 He denied Jesus, saying, "Woman, I don’t know him."

58 After a little while someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them!"

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

59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!"

60 But Peter said, "Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times." 62 He went out, and wept bitterly.

54 他们拿住耶稣, 押到大祭司家里, 彼得远远地跟着。

55 他们在院内生了火, 一同坐着, 彼得也坐在他们中间。

56 有一个使女, 见他面向火光坐着, 就注视他, 说: "这人是和他一伙的。"

57 彼得却否认, 说: "你这个女人, 我不认得他。"

58 不久, 另一个人看见他, 就说: "你也是他们中间的一个。"彼得说: "你这个人, 我不是。"

59 大约过了一小时, 又有一个人肯定地说: "这人真是和他一伙的, 因为他也是加利利人。"

60 彼得说: "你这个人, 我不知道你说的是什么! "他还在说话的时候, 鸡就叫了。

61 主转过身来看彼得, 彼得就想起主对他说过的话: "今天鸡叫以前, 你要三次说不认得我。"

62 他就出去痛哭。
