27 Peter G4074 then G3767 denied G720 again: G3825 and G2532 immediately G2112 the cock G220 crew. G5455
Jesus G2424 answered G611 him, G846 Wilt thou lay down G5087 thy G4675 life G5590 for G5228 my sake? G1700 Verily, G281 verily, G281 I say G3004 unto thee, G4671 The cock G220 shall G5455 not G3364 crow, G5455 till G2193 G3739 thou hast denied G533 me G3165 thrice. G5151
Jesus G2424 said G5346 unto him, G846 Verily G281 I say G3004 unto thee, G4671 That G3754 this G1722 G5026 night, G3571 before G4250 the cock G220 crow, G5455 thou shalt deny G533 me G3165 thrice. G5151
Then G5119 began he G756 to curse G2653 and G2532 to swear, G3660 saying, G3754 I know G1492 not G3756 the man. G444 And G2532 immediately G2112 the cock G220 crew. G5455 And G2532 Peter G4074 remembered G3415 the word G4487 of Jesus, G2424 which G3588 said G2046 unto him, G846 Before G3754 G4250 the cock G220 crow, G5455 thou shalt deny G533 me G3165 thrice. G5151 And G2532 he went out, G1854 and G1831 wept G2799 bitterly. G4090
And G2532 Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto him, G846 Verily G281 I say G3004 unto thee, G4671 That G3754 this day, G4594 even in G1722 this G5026 night, G3571 before G4250 G2228 the cock G220 crow G5455 twice, G1364 thou shalt deny G533 me G3165 thrice. G5151
But G1161 he denied, G720 saying, G3004 I know G1492 not, G3756 neither G3761 understand I G1987 what G5101 thou G4771 sayest. G3004 And G2532 he went G1831 out G1854 into G1519 the porch; G4259 and G2532 the cock G220 crew. G5455
But G1161 he began G756 to curse G332 and G2532 to swear, G3660 saying, I know G3754 G1492 not G3756 this G5126 man G444 of whom G3739 ye speak. G3004 And G2532 the G1537 second time G1208 the cock G220 crew. G5455 And G2532 Peter G4074 called to mind G363 the word G4487 that G3739 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto him, G846 G3754 Before G4250 the cock G220 crow G5455 twice, G1364 thou shalt deny G533 me G3165 thrice. G5151 And G2532 when he thought thereon, G1911 he wept. G2799
And G1161 Peter G4074 said, G2036 Man, G444 I know G1492 not G3756 what G3739 thou sayest. G3004 And G2532 immediately, G3916 while he G846 yet G2089 spake, G2980 the cock G220 crew. G5455 And G2532 the Lord G2962 turned, G4762 and looked upon G1689 Peter. G4074 And G2532 Peter G4074 remembered G5279 the word G3056 of the Lord, G2962 how G5613 he had said G2036 unto him, G846 Before G3754 G4250 the cock G220 crow, G5455 thou shalt deny G533 me G3165 thrice. G5151 And G2532 Peter G4074 went G1831 out, G1854 and wept G2799 bitterly. G4090

Commentary on John 18 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 18
Hitherto this evangelist has recorded little of the history of Christ, only so far as was requisite to introduce his discourses; but now that the time drew nigh that Jesus must die he is very particular in relating the circumstances of his sufferings, and some which the others had omitted, especially his sayings. So far were his followers from being ashamed of his cross, or endeavouring to conceal it, that this was what, both by word and writing, they were most industrious to proclaim, and gloried in it. This chapter relates,
Jhn 18:1-12
The hour was now come that the captain of our salvation, who was to be made perfect by sufferings, should engage the enemy. We have here his entrance upon the encounter. The day of recompence is in his heart, and the year of his redeemed is come, and his own arm works the salvation, for he has no second. Let us turn aside now, and see this great sight.
Jhn 18:13-27
We have here an account of Christ's arraignment before the high priest, and some circumstances that occurred therein which were omitted by the other evangelists; and Peter's denying him, which the other evangelists had given the story of entire by itself, is interwoven with the other passages. The crime laid to his charge having relation to religion, the judges of the spiritual court took it to fall directly under their cognizance. Both Jews and Gentiles seized him, and so both Jews and Gentiles tried and condemned him, for he died for the sins of both. Let us go over the story in order.
Jhn 18:28-40
We have here an account of Christ's arraignment before Pilate, the Roman governor, in the praetorium (a Latin word made Greek), the praetor's house, or hall of judgment; thither they hurried him, to get him condemned in the Roman court, and executed by the Roman power. Being resolved on his death, they took this course,
