Did Peter Deny Jesus Three Times?

Did Peter Deny Jesus Three Times?

Matthew 26:69-72 NKJV

VERSE 69 Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.”

VERSE 70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”

VERSE 71 And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

VERSE 72 But again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the Man!

73 And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, “Surely you also are one of them, for your speech betrays you.”

74 Then he began to [a]curse and [b]swear, saying, “I do not know the Man!”

Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So he went out and wept bitterly.
