Peter answered, "Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you and to die with you!"

"I tell you, Peter," Jesus said, "the rooster will not crow tonight until you have said three times that you do not know me."

But those who reject me publicly, the Son of Man will also reject them before the angels of God.

But those who reject me publicly, I will reject before my Father in heaven.

But he denied it in front of them all. "I don't know what you are talking about," he answered,

Peter was still standing there keeping himself warm. So the others said to him, "Aren't you also one of the disciples of that man?" But Peter denied it. "No, I am not," he said.

Again Peter said "No"---and at once a rooster crowed.

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has given divine glory to his Servant Jesus. But you handed him over to the authorities, and you rejected him in Pilate's presence, even after Pilate had decided to set him free.

He was holy and good, but you rejected him, and instead you asked Pilate to do you the favor of turning loose a murderer.

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that he will forgive your sins. If you do,

and so I endure everything for the sake of God's chosen people, in order that they too may obtain the salvation that comes through Christ Jesus and brings eternal glory.

If we continue to endure, we shall also rule with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.

But if we confess our sins to God, he will keep his promise and do what is right: he will forgive us our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoing.
