Matthew 26:73-75 Bible in Basic English (BBE)

73 And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.

74 Then with curses and oaths he said, I have no knowledge of the man. And straight away there came the cry of a cock.

75 And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.
