The verses around it, from Matthew 26.
69 Meanwhile, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus the Galilean,” she said.
70 But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”
71 When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”
73 After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.”
74 At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
75 Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
