4 Afraid at Jesus' arrest: denied Him, then wept bitterly

<p>Matthew 26:69-75 (NIV) &nbsp;Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. "You also were with Jesus of Galilee," she said. 70 &nbsp;<b>But he denied it before them all</b>. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said. 71 &nbsp;Then he went out to the gateway, where another girl saw him and said to the people there, "This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth." 72 &nbsp;<b>He denied it again, with an oath: "I don't know the man!"</b> 73 &nbsp;After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, "Surely you are one of them, for your accent gives you away." 74 &nbsp;<b>Then he began to call down curses on himself and he swore to them, "I don't know the man!"</b> Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 &nbsp;Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." And <b>he went outside and wept bitterly</b>.</p>
