Again, Peter denied it. Just then a rooster crowed.
“Don’t be so sure,” Jesus said. “This very night, before the rooster crows up the dawn, you will deny me three times.”
Jesus said, “Don’t be so sure. Today, this very night in fact, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
He denied it: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He went out on the porch. A rooster crowed.
Jesus said, “I’m sorry to have to tell you this, Peter, but before the rooster crows you will have three times denied that you know me.”
He denied it, “Woman, I don’t even know him.”
“Really? You’ll lay down your life for me? The truth is that before the rooster crows, you’ll deny me three times.”
