Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, this [very] night, before the rooster crows, you will deny [knowing] me three times.”
And a little later, those standing nearby came to Peter and said, “[We know] for sure, you also are one of them [i.e., Jesus’ disciples], because your accent gives you away.”
Then Peter remembered the words Jesus had said, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny [knowing] me three times.” And he went out and cried bitterly.
And all the people answered, “Let his blood be on our hands, and on our children’s [as well].”
And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today, in fact this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny [knowing] me three times.”
But he denied it, saying, “I do not know or understand what you are talking about.” Then he went out onto the porch and the rooster crowed.
But then Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” Just then, as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.
For I could wish that I, personally, were cut off from Christ [and lost] for the sake of my brothers, who are my physical relatives,
If anyone [there] does not love the Lord, he deserves to be cut off from God. O Lord, come [back soon]
