But he denied it. "I don't know...I don't understand what you are talking about," he answered, and went out into the passageway. Just then a rooster crowed.

The servant woman saw him there and began to repeat to the bystanders, "He is one of them!"

After a little while a man noticed Peter and said, "You are one of them, too!" But Peter answered, "Man, I am not!"

Peter was still standing there keeping himself warm. So the others said to him, "Aren't you also one of the disciples of that man?" But Peter denied it. "No, I am not," he said.

Again Peter said "No"---and at once a rooster crowed.
