LESSON 89/Peter Denies Jesus

 When Jesus was with his apostles in the upper room he said to them: 'All of you will abandon me tonight.'  Peter said: Not I! Even if all of the others leave you, I will never leave you.' But Jesus told Peter: 'Before a rooster crows, you will say three times that you don't know me.'

When the soldiers took Jesus to the house of Caiaphas, most of the apostles fled. But two of them followed in the crowd. One of them was Peter, he went into the courtyard of the house of Caiaphas and warmed himself by the fire. In the light, a servant girl saw Peter's face and said: 'I know you! You were with Jesus!'
