Mark 14:71

FearSin

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.”

But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

72 And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
