| 57But he denied Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.” | 57But Peter denied it: "Woman, I don't know him!" |
| 58And after a little while another saw him and said, “You also are of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!” | 58Then a little later someone else saw him and said, "You are one of them too." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!" |
| 59Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a Galilean.” | 59And after about an hour still another insisted, "Certainly this man was with him, because he too is a Galilean." |
| 60But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. | 60But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" At that moment, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. |
| 61And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” | 61Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times." |

| 67“If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will by no means believe. | 67and said, "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe, |
| 68And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer Me or let Me go. | 68and if I ask you, you will not answer. |
| 69Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.” | 69But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God." |
| 70Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” So He said to them, “You rightly say that I am.” | 70So they all said, "Are you the Son of God, then?" He answered them, "You say that I am." |
| 71And they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.” | 71Then they said, "Why do we need further testimony? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!" |
