But Peter said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just then, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
Jesus replied to Peter, “I can guarantee this truth: Before a rooster crows tonight, you will say three times that you don’t know me.”
Jesus replied, “Peter, I can guarantee that the rooster won’t crow tonight until you say three times that you don’t know me.”
About an hour later another person insisted, “It’s obvious that this man was with him. He’s a Galilean!”
Then the Lord turned and looked directly at Peter. Peter remembered what the Lord had said: “Before a rooster crows today, you will say three times that you don’t know me.”
Peter again denied it, and just then a rooster crowed.
