1650651 Peter’s third denial, relative of Malchus – Matthew 26:73-75, Mark 14:70-72, Luke 22:59-62, John 18:26-27, Friday April 15 A.D. 29 Jerusalem
And after a little while again, about one hour passed, one of those servants of the high priest who stood by, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, came and said to Peter, “Did not I see you in the garden with him?” Another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truthfully you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known. You are a Galilean. Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”
But then Peter began to curse and to swear and said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about! I do not know this man of whom you speak!” Peter therefore denied it again and immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed the second time. And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And when he thought about that, he went out and wept bitterly.
