A reading from the Gospel of St. John
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?  
Jesus answered, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now ; but you shall follow afterwards. 
Peter said unto him “Lord, why cannot I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you. “
Jesus answered  “Will you lay down your life for me?  Truly, truly  I say to you, the cock will not crow  till you have denied me three times.” 
Simon Peter  then followed Jesus and so did another disciple.  As this disciple was known to the High Priest, he entered the court of the High Priest along with Jesus, while Peter stood outside at the door.  So the other disciple, who was known to the High Priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door, and brought Peter in. 
He maid who kept the door said to Peter “ Are you not also one of this man’s disciples? 
He said “I am not”. 
 Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire because it was cold, and they were standing warming themselves
 Simon Peter  also was standing and warming himself.  They said to him: “ Are you not also one of his disciples?” he denied it and said “I am not”.  One of the servants of the High Priest, a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked :” Did I not see you in the garden with him?” 
Peter denied it again; and at once the cock crew.
