14:66 彼得在下邊院子裡；來了大祭司的一個使女，
14:67 見彼得烤火，就看著他，說：「你素來也是同拿撒勒人耶穌一夥的。」
14:68 彼得卻不承認，說：「我不知道，也不明白你說的是甚麼。」於是出來，到了前院，雞就叫了。
14:69 那使女看見他，又對旁邊站著的人說：「這也是他們一黨的。」
14:70 彼得又不承認。過了不多的時候，旁邊站著的人又對彼得說：「你真是他們一黨的！因為你是加利利人。」
14:71 彼得就發咒起誓地說：「我不認得你們說的這個人。」
14:72 立時雞叫了第二遍。彼得想起耶穌對他所說的話：「雞叫兩遍以先，你要三次不認我。」思想起來，就哭了。
66 While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. 67 When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him.
“You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,” she said.
68 But he denied it. “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about,” he said, and went out into the entryway.[g]
69 When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, “This fellow is one of them.” 70 Again he denied it.
After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”
71 He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about.”
72 Immediately the rooster crowed the second time.[h] Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice[i] you will disown me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

彼得因為害怕，真的發生主耶穌所說的話：「雞叫兩遍以先，你要三次不認我。」之情形！
由彼得的這件事，提醒我們不可以靠自己誇口，要求主保守我們，因為我們真的軟弱，非常需要主的同在與保守！
