57 But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I know nothing about him."

59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean."
But an hour afterwards another man kept insisting, saying. "Really, this fellow was with him. Why, he is a Galilean."
60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
"Man," said Peter, "I do not know what you mean." And immediately, while he was still speaking, the cock crew.
61 The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows today you will deny me three times."

"Are you the Christ? Tell us!" "If I tell you," he answered, "you will not believe;
68 and if I ask, you will not answer me, or let me go.
"And if I ask you, you will not answer.
69 From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
