Matthew 26:72

James Moffatt - New Testament

Again he denied it; he swore, "I do not know the man."

See the chapter Copy

Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow to-day before you have three times denied that you know me."

At this he broke out cursing and swearing, "I do not know the man." At that moment a cock crowed.

When he went out to the gateway another maidservant noticed him and said to those who were there, "This fellow was with Jesus the Nazarene."

After a little the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "To be sure, you are one of them too. Why, your accent betrays you!"
