15Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
16But Peter stood outside at the door. Then the disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
17At this, the servant girl watching the door said to Peter, “Aren’ t you also one of this man’s disciples?” “I am not,” he answered.
18Because it was cold, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had made to keep warm. And Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.
...
25Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they asked him, “Aren’ t you also one of His disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
26One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’ t I see you with Him in the garden?”
27Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.
