Mark.14.68
He denied it: "I don't know what you're talking about." He went out on the porch. A rooster crowed.

And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.
Mark.14.70
He denied it again. After a little while, the bystanders brought it up again. "You've got to be one of them. You've got "Galilean' written all over you."

Mark.14.70
Peter denied it again. A little later some other bystanders began saying to Peter, "You must be one of them because you are from Galilee."
Mark.14.71
But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
Mark.14.71
Now Peter got really nervous and swore, "I never laid eyes on this man you're talking about."
Mark.14.71
He began to call down curses on himself, and he swore to them, "I don't know this man you're talking about."
Mark.14.71
Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this Man of whom you speak!"
Mark.14.71
Peter said, "I swear by God, I don't know this man you're talking about."
Mark.14.72
And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
Mark.14.72
Just then the rooster crowed a second time. Peter remembered how Jesus had said, "Before a rooster crows twice, you'll deny me three times." He collapsed in tears.
