70 And he denied before all, saying, “I have not known what you say.”
And he denied before all, I know not what you say.

73 And after a while those standing near having come, said to Peter, “Truly you also are of them, for even your speech makes you evident.”
And after a little the bystanders coming to Peter, said, Truly, thou art also one of them, for indeed thy speech betrays thee.
74 Then he began to curse, and to swear, “I have not known the Man”; and immediately a rooster crowed,
Then he began to anathematize and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, He having said to him, “Before rooster-crowing, you will deny Me three times”; and having gone outside, he wept bitterly.
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus having spoken to him, That before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And having gone out, he wept bitterly.
