Peter's denials - Luke 22:54-62 - N. T. -

They seized Jesus then and led him away, and they took him to the high priest's house. Peter followed at a distance. They had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and Peter sat down among them, and as he was sitting there by the blaze a servant-girl saw him, peered at him, and said, 'This person was with Jesus too'. But Peter denied it. 'Woman,' he said 'I do not know him.' Shortly afterwards someone else saw him and said, 'You are another of them'. But Peter replied, 'I am not, my friend'. About an hour later another man insisted, saying 'This fellow was certainly with Jesus. Why, he is a Galilean.' 'My friend,' said Peter 'I do not know what you are talking about.' At that instant, while he was still speaking, the cock crew, and the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him, 'Before the cock crows today, you will have disowned me three times'. And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Cf. - Matthew 26:57, 69-75; Mark 14:66-72 - N. T. - The men who had arrested Jesus led him off to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. Meanwhile Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came up to him and said, 'You too were with Jesus the Galilean'. But Peter denied it in front of them all. 'I do not know what you are talking about' he said. When he went out to the gateway another servant-girl saw him and said to the people there, 'This man was with Jesus the Nazarene'. 

And again, with an oath, Peter denied it. 'I do not know the man'. A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, 'You are one of them for sure! Why, your accent gives you away.' Then Peter started calling down curses on himself and swearing, 'I do not know the man'. At that moment the cock crew, and Peter remembered what Jesus had said, 'Before the cock crows you will have disowned me three times'. And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Cf. - John 18:15-18, 25-27 - N. T. - Simon Peter, with another disciple, followed Jesus. This disciple, who was known to the high priest, went with Jesus into the high priest's palace, but Peter stayed outside the door. So the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out, spoke to the woman who was keeping the door and brought Peter in. The maid on duty at the door said to Peter, 'Aren't you another of that man's disciples?' Peter answered, 'I am not'. Now it was cold, and the servants and guards had lit a charcoal fire and were standing there warming themselves; so Peter stood there too, warming himself with others.

As Simon Peter stood there warming himself, someone said to him, 'Aren't you another of his disciples?' Peter denied it saying, 'I am not'. One of the high priest's servants, a relation of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, 'Didn't I see you in the garden with him?' Again Peter denied it; and at once a cock crew.

Cf. - Luke 22:34 - 

Jesus mocked by the guards - Luke 22:63-65 - N. T. -

Meanwhile the men guarded Jesus were mocking and beating him. They blindfolded him and questioned him. 'Play the prophet' they said. 'Who hit you then?' And they continued heaping insults on him.

Cf. - Matthew 26:67-68; Mark 14:65 - N. T. - Some of them started spitting at him and, blindfolding him, began hitting him with their fists and shouting. 'Play the prophet!' And the attendants rained blows on him.
