Mark 14:68

FearShame

66 While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down

67 and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.

69 There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

70 But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”
