Excerpt from the Gospel According to St Matthew in both Audio and text versions.

69. But Peter sat without in the court, and there came to him one wench, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean.
70. But he denied before them all, saying, I wot not what thou sayest.
71. And as he went out of the gate, another wench saw him, and she saith to them that were there, And this fellow also was with Jesus the Nazarite.
72. And again he denied with an oath, That I know not the man.
73. And after a little, they came that stood by, and said to Peter: Surely thou also art of them; for even thy speech doth bewray thee.
74. Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And incontinent the cock crew.
75. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which he had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And going forth, he wept bitterly.
