But Peter said: "I do not know what you are speaking about." Instantly, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
"I tell you," replied Jesus, "that this very night, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times!"
"I tell you, Peter," replied Jesus, "the cock will not crow to-day till you have disowned all knowledge of me three times."
About an hour later another man declared positively: "This man also was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean!"
And the Master turned and looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the words that the Master had said to him--"Before a cock has crowed to-day, you will disown me three times";
Peter again denied it; and at that moment a cock crowed.
