⁶⁸ and he denied, saying, `I have not known `him', neither do I understand what thou sayest;' and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew.

⁷¹ And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth;'

⁷² and again did he deny with an oath -- `I have not known the man.'

²⁹ And Peter said to him, `And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;'

³⁰ And Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.'

³¹ And he spake the more vehemently, `If it may be necessary for me to die with thee -- I will in nowise deny thee;' and in like manner also said they all.

⁷² and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him -- `Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;' and having thought thereon -- he was weeping.

³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'

³⁷ Peter saith to him, `Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

³⁸ Jesus answered him, `Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'

¹² if we do endure together -- we shall also reign together; if we deny `him', he also shall deny us;

¹³ if we are not stedfast, he remaineth stedfast; to deny himself he is not able.
