John 18:15-17; 25-27
Peter's First Denial

15 Simon Peter and another disciple
were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high
priest, he went with Jesus into the
high priest's courtyard, 16 but
Peter had to wait outside at the door.
The other disciple, who was known
to the high priest, came back, spoke
to the girl on duty there and
brought Peter in.
17 "You are not one of his disciples,
are you?" the girl at the door asked
Peter.
He replied, "I am not."

Peter's Second and Third Denials
25 As Simon Peter stood warming himself, he was asked, "You are not
one of his disciples, are you?"
He denied it, saying, "I am not."
26 One of the high priest's servants,
a relative of the man whose ear Peter
had cut off, challenged him, "Didn't
I see you with him in the olive
grove?" 27 Again Peter denied it,
and at that moment a rooster began
to crow.
