Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

He that trusts to a bold heart, such a one is a fool: but he that walks in wisdom shall be safe.

Pride brings a man low, but the Lord upholds the humble-minded with honor.

So then, let him who thinks he stands take heed, lest he should fall!

But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.

Then the servant girl who kept the door said to Peter, "You are not also one of this Man's disciples, [are you]?" He said, "I am not."

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Therefore they said to him, "You are not also [one] of His disciples, [are you]?" Then he denied it and said, "I am not!"

Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed.

Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I say to you that on this night, before [the] rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."

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

And when he had gone out to the gateway, another [girl] saw him and said to them there, "This [man] was with Jesus the Nazarene."

And after a little [while], those standing by came up and said to Peter, "Surely you also are one of them, for your accent gives you away."

And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which He said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And going out, he wept bitterly.

Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I say to you, that you, today on this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times."

Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came.

But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are saying." And he went outside into the forecourt, and a rooster crowed.

But again he was denying [it]. And a little later those who were standing by said to Peter again, "Truly you are one of them; for you are also a Galilean, and your accent is like [theirs]."

And for the second [time] a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And when he thought about it, he began to weep.

Then He said, "I say to you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me."

And a certain servant girl, seeing him sitting at the fire and gazing at him, said, "This [man] was also with Him."

And after a little [while] another [person] saw him and said, "You also are [one] of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"

But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying!" And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

And going outside, Peter wept bitterly.
