Peter said for the third time, “I do not know Jesus!” And then he heard a rooster crowing, and he realised what he had done. He remembered Jesus’ words: “Before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me.” Peter knew that he was not as brave as he had thought. He felt terrible. Although he loved the Lord Jesus very much, he had disowned him. He went outside and he began to cry. Matthew 26:31–35, 69-75 Luke 22, John 13:31–38, John 18:15–27
