022:055 And when they had lighted a fire in the middle of the court and had seated themselves in a group round it, Peter was sitting among them,
022:056 when a maidservant saw him sitting by the fire, and, looking fixedly at him, she said, "This man also was with him."
022:057 But he denied it, and declared, "Woman, I do not know him."
022:058 Shortly afterwards a man saw him and said, "You, too, are one of them." "No, man, I am not," said Peter.
022:059 After an interval of about an hour some one else stoutly maintained: "Certainly this fellow also was with him, for in fact he is a Galilaean."
022:060 "Man, I don't know what you mean," replied Peter. No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed.
022:061 The Master turned and looked on Peter; and Peter recollected the Master's words, how He had said to him, "This very day, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times."
022:062 And he went out and wept aloud bitterly.
022:063 Meanwhile the men who held Jesus in custody repeatedly beat Him in cruel sport,
022:064 or blindfolded Him, and then challenged Him. "Prove to us," they said, "that you are a prophet, by telling us who it was that struck you."
