Luke 22:63
61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.
64 They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”
65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
