Luke 6:1-49 The Sermon on the Mount

 

The Sermon on the Mount

Luke 6:1-49          The Gospel According to Luke [in Smaller Chunks

And it [happened] after the 1st [Sabbath,] on the 2nd Sabbath, that [Jesus] & His disciples went through the corn fields, & plucked the ears of corn, [rubbed] them in their hands & [ate] [them.] And [some] of the Pharisees said to them, Why do You [do] [what] isn't lawful to do on the Sabbath Days?

And Jesus answering them said, Haven't you read [as] much as this, what David did, when [he,] himself was [hungry] & [those, who] were with him; & how [David] went into the house of God, & [took] & [ate] the shewbread, [a.k.a. Holy bread,] & also gave [it] to [those, who] were with him, which isn't lawful to eat, but [is] [only] for the priests?

And [Jesus] said to them, The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath. And it [happened] on another Sabbath, that [Jesus] entered into the synagogue & taught. And there was a man whose right hand was withered, [a.k.a. shriveled.]

And the scribes & Pharisees watched [Jesus,] [to see] whether He would heal on the Sabbath Day; [so] that they might find [something] against Him, [with which] [to accuse] [Jesus.] But [Jesus] knew their thoughts, & said to the man, [who] had the withered hand, Rise up & stand [out] in the [middle.]

And he arose, & stood [up.] Then, Jesus said to them, I will ask you one thing. Is it lawful to do good, or to do evil on the Sabbath Days? To save life, or to destroy it?

*And looking [all around] upon all [of] them, [Jesus] said to the man, Stretch [out] your hand. And he did so, & his hand was restored whole, [like] the other. [Psalm 103:2-4 *Bless the Lord, O my soul, & [don't] forget all His benefits; Who [forgives] all your [sins;] Who [heals] all your diseases; Who [redeems] your life from destruction, Who [crowns] you with loving kindness & tender mercies.]

And they were filled with [insanity,] & [talked] with one another [about] what they might do to Jesus. And [during] those days, it [happened,] that [Jesus] went out into a mountain to pray, & continued in prayer to God all night. And when it was day, [Jesus] called to Him, His disciples.

And He chose [from] them 12, whom He also named apostles. Simon, (whom [Jesus] also named Peter;) Andrew, [Peter's] brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew,  [a.k.a. Nathanael;] Matthew, [a.k.a. Levi;] Thomas, [a.k.a. The Twin, & Didymus;] James, the son of Alphaeus, & Simon called Zelotes, and Judas, the brother of James; & Judas Iscariot, [who] also was the traitor.

And [Jesus] came down with them, & stood in the plain, [in] the company of His disciples, & a [large] multitude of people, from out of all: Judaea, [a.k.a. Judea,] Jerusalem, the sea coast of Tyre, [a.k.a. Tyrus,] & Sidon.

*[Who] came to hear [Jesus,] & to be healed of their diseases; & [those, who] were [troubled] with unclean spirits, [a.k.a. demons,] were healed. [Isaiah 29:18-20 *And [on] that day, the deaf shall hear the Words of the Book, & the eyes of the blind shall see out of [cloudiness,] & out of darkness. The meek, [a.k.a. humble,] shall also increase their joy in the Lord, & the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. For the terrible one is brought to [nothing,] & the scorner is consumed, [a.k.a. destroyed.] And all [who] watch for [opportunities for] [sinfulness,] are cut off.]

*And the whole multitude sought to touch [Jesus,] for virtue went out of Him, & healed them all. And [Jesus] lifted up His eyes [upon] His disciples, & said, Blessed [are] you poor: for yours is the Kingdom of God. Blessed are you, [who] hunger now; for you shall be filled. Blessed are you, [who] weep now: for you shall laugh.

[Isaiah 61:1-2 *The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me; because the Lord [has] anointed Me to preach good tidings, [a.k.a. Good News,] to the meek. He [has] sent Me to [mend] the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty, [a.k.a. freedom,] to the captives, & the opening of the prison, [a.k.a. release] to [those, who] are bound. *To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, & the day of the vengeance of our God, & to comfort all, [who] mourn.]

Blessed are you, when men shall hate you for the Son of Man's sake, & shall: [speak] evil [of you,] [disgrace] you, & separate, [a.k.a. exclude,] you from their company. [On] that day, rejoice, & leap for joy. For, [see,] your reward is great in heaven. For their [forefathers,] did [similarly] to the prophets.

[Matthew 23:37-39 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you, [who kill] the prophets, & [stone those, who] are sent to [warn] you. How often I would have gathered your children together, even [like] a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, & you would not! [Look,] your house is left desolate to you. For I say to you, you shall not see Me [from now on, until] you shall say, Blessed is He, [Who] comes in the name of the Lord.]

But woe, [a.k.a. distress,] to you, [who] are rich! For you have received your consolation, [a.k.a. comfort.] [Luke 12:19-21 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you [have many] goods [stored] up for many years; take [it easy,] eat, drink, & be merry.

But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul, [a.k.a. life,] shall be required [from] you. Then, whose shall those things be, [that] you have provided? So is he, [who stores] up treasure for himself, & isn't rich toward God.]

Woe to you, [who] are full! For you shall hunger. Woe to you, [who] laugh [at others] now! For you shall mourn & weep. Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you! For their [forefathers] did so to the false prophets. [Ezekiel 22:25-26 There is a conspiracy [by Jerusalem's] prophets in the midst [of it,] like a roaring lion, [ravaging] the prey.

They have devoured souls, & they have taken the treasure, & precious things. And in the midst [of it,] they have made many widows there. Her priests have violated My Law, & have [defiled] My holy things.

They have put no difference between the holy & the [wicked.] Neither have the [declared] a difference between the unclean & the clean, & have [hidden] their eyes from My Sabbaths, & I Am [defiled] among them.]

But I say to you, [who] hear, Love your enemies, & do good to [those, who] hate you. Bless [those, who] curse you, & pray for [those, who spitefully] use you. And to him, [who strikes] you on the 1 cheek, offer [him] also the other. And [to] him, [who takes] away your cloak, [don't] forbid [them] to also take your coat.

Give to every man, [who asks from] you. [Deuteronomy 15:7-8 If there [is] a poor man, among you of 1 of your brethren within your gates, in your land [that] the Lord your God [gives] you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother. But you shall open your hand wide to him, & shall surely lend him sufficient for his [needs,] in [what] he [wants.]

And don't ask [those] again, [who take] away your goods [through force.] And as you would [like] that men should do to you, you also do [the same] to them. For if you love [those, who] love you, what [thanks] [do] you have? For sinners also love those, [who] love them.

And if you do good to [those, who] do good to you, what [thanks] [do] you have? For even sinners also do the same. And if you lend to [those from] whom you hope to receive [something,] what [thanks] [do] you have? For sinners also lend to sinners, to again receive as much.

But you love your enemies, & do good. And lend, hoping for nothing again; & your reward shall be great, & you shall be the children of the Highest. For He is kind to the unthankful & to the evil. Therefore, you be merciful, [like] your Father is also merciful.

[Don't] judge, & you shall not be judged. [Don't] condemn, & you shall not be condemned. Forgive, & you shall be forgiven. Give, & it shall be given to you. Men shall give into your [arms] good measure, [a.k.a. in addition,] pressed down, shaken together, & running over, [a.k.a. overflowing.] For with the same [measurement] that you mete, [a.k.a. hand out,] it shall be measured [back] to you again. *

*And [Jesus spoke] a parable to them, Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into the ditch? [Psalm 78:1-4 O My people, [listen] to My Law. [Lean] your ears to the Words of My mouth. *I will open My mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old, which we have heard & known, & our [forefathers] have told us. We will not hide them from their children, [declaring] the praises of the Lord, His wonderful strength, & wonderful works, [a.k.a. miracles,] that He has done, to the generation to come.]

The disciple isn't above his Master, [a.k.a Teacher;] but everyone, [who] is perfect, [a.k.a. blameless,] shall be [like] his Master. And why [do] you [see] the mote, [a.k.a. speck,] that is in your brother's eye, but [aren't aware] [of] the beam that is in your own eye?

[Or else,] how can you say to your brother, Brother, let me pull the [speck] out that is in your eye, when you yourself [don't see] the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, [a.k.a. someone who says one thing & does another,] first, cast out the beam [from] your own eye, & then you shall see clearly to pull out the [speck] that is in your brother's eye.

For a good tree doesn't [produce bad] fruit; & neither does a [bad] tree [produce] good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For men don't gather figs [from plants bearing] thorns, nor [do] they gather grapes [from] a [sticker] bush.

A good man [produces what] is good, out of the good [treasures within] his heart. And an evil man [produces what] is evil, out of the evil [treasures within] his heart. For his mouth speaks [from] the abundance [of what is within] the heart. Why [do] you call Me, Lord, Lord, [but] don't [do] the things [that] I say?

[Whoever comes] to Me, & [hears] My sayings, & does them, I will [declare] to you, whom he is like. He is like a man [who] built a house, & [dug] deep, & laid the foundation on a rock. And when the flood arose, & the stream beat [vigorously] upon the house, [but] couldn't shake it, [because] it was founded, [a.k.a. established,] upon a rock.

But he, [who hears] & doesn't [do it,] is like a man, [who] built a house on the [ground] without a foundation. The stream did [vigorously] beat against [it,] & immediately it fell; & the ruin of that house was [large.]

Luke 5:1-39 Jesus Heals the Paralyzed Man Let Down Through the Roof

 

Jesus Heals the Paralyzed Man Let Down Through the Roof

Luke 5:1-39          The Gospel According to Luke [in Smaller Chunks

And it [happened,] that [Jesus] stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, as the people pressed, [a.k.a. crowded] upon [Jesus] to hear the Word of God. And [Jesus] saw 2 ships standing [still] by the lake, [because] the fishermen [had] gone out of them, & were washing their nets.

And [Jesus] entered into 1 of the ships, [that] was Simon's, & [requested] that [Simon] would [push] out a little from the land. And [Jesus] sat down, & taught the people out of the ship. Now, when [Jesus] had [stopped] speaking, He said to Simon, Launch out into the deep [waters,] & let down your nets for a [large] [catch.]

And Simon answering, said to [Jesus,] Master, [a.k.a. Teacher,] we have [worked hard] all night, & have [caught] nothing. [Still,] at Your Word, I will let down, [a.k.a. lower,] the net. And when they had done this, they [enclosed] a [large] multitude of [fish,] & their net [broke.]

And they beckoned, [a.k.a. motioned,] to their partners, [who] were in the other ship, [so] that they should come & help them. And they came, & filled both ships, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, [Leave] from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

For [Peter] was astonished, & all [those, who] were with him, at the [large] [catch] of [fish] they had [caught.] And also James, & John, [Zebedee's] sons, [who] were [Simon's] partners, [were astonished.] And Jesus said to Simon, [Don't] fear. From [now on,] you shall catch men.

And when they had brought their ships to land, they [abandoned] all, & followed [Jesus.] And it [happened,] when [Jesus] was in a certain city, [saw] a man full of leprosy, who [saw] Jesus & fell on his face, & [begged Jesus,] saying, Lord, if You [will,] You can make me clean.

*And [Jesus] put [out] his hand, & touched him, saying, I will, you [will] be clean. And immediately, the leprosy [left] from him. [Psalm 103:2-4 *Bless the Lord, O my soul, & [don't] forget all His benefits: Who [forgives] all your [sins;] Who [heals] all your diseases; Who [redeems] your life from destruction; Who [crowns] you with loving kindness & tender mercies.]

And [Jesus] charged him to tell no man. But go, & [show] yourself to the priest, for a testimony to them, & offer according as Moses commanded for your cleansing. But fame went [out even] more [about] [Jesus.] And [large] multitudes] came together to hear, & to [have] their infirmities, [a.k.a. illnesses,] to be healed by [Jesus.]

And [Jesus] withdrew Himself into the wilderness, & prayed. And it [happened] on a [particular] day, as [Jesus] was teaching, that there were Pharisees & doctors of the law, sitting [near] by, [who had] come out of every town of: Galilee, Judaea, [a.k.a. Judea,] & Jerusalem.

And the power of the Lord was present to heal them. And, [saw,] men brought in a bed [with] a man, [who was paralyzed.] And they [searched] [for] means to bring him in, & lay him [in front of Jesus.]

And when they couldn't find [a] way by [which] they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, & let down, [a.k.a. lowered,] him with his couch, through the tiling, & into the [middle in front of] Jesus.

*And when [Jesus] saw their faith, [Jesus] said to him, Man, your sins are forgiven you. [Isaiah 49:7-8 *The Lord [says this,] the Redeemer of Israel, & His Holy One, to Him, Whom man [despises,] to Him, Whom the nations [loathe,] to a Servant of rulers. Kings shall see & arise, & princes shall also worship, because of the Lord, [Who] is faithful.

And He, the Holy One of Israel, shall choose You. *The Lord [says this,] In an acceptable time, I have heard You, & [on] a day of Salvation, I have helped You. And I will preserve You, & give You for a covenant, [a.k.a. contract for] the people, to establish the earth, & to cause the desolate heritages, to [be] [inherited.]

And the scribes & Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who can forgive sins, but God alone? [Matthew 20:28 *Even [like] the Son of Man [didn't come] to be ministered to, but to minister, & to give His life, [as] a ransom for many.]

But when Jesus [realized] their thoughts, He [answered] & said to them, What [do] you reason in your hearts? [Which] is easier to say, Your sins [are] forgiven you; or to say, Rise up & walk? *But [so] that you may know that the Son of Man [has] power upon earth to forgive sins, ([Jesus] said to the sick, [paralyzed] [man,]) I say to you, Arise, & take up your couch, & go to your house.

And immediately he rose up, [in front of] them, & took up [what] he lay [on,] & [left] to his own house, glorifying God. [Isaiah 35:5-6 *Then, the eyes of the blind shall be opened, & the ears of the deaf shall be [unplugged.] *Then, the lame man shall leap [like a deer,] & the tongue of the [mute] [shall] sing. For waters shall break out in the wilderness, & streams in the desert.]

And they were all amazed, & they glorified God, & were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things today. And after these things, [Jesus] went [out,] & saw a publican, [a.k.a. tax collector,] named Levi, sitting at the [customs office.]

And [Jesus] said to [Levi,] Follow Me. And [Levi] left all, rose up, & followed [Jesus.] And Levi made [Jesus] a [large] feast in his own house. And there was a [large] company of publicans, & others [who] sat down with them. But their scribes & Pharisees [grumbled] against [Jesus'] disciples, saying, Why do you eat & drink with publicans & sinners?

And Jesus, answering, said to them, [Those, who] are whole [don't] need a physician; but [those, who] are sick. I [didn't come] to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance. And they said to [Jesus,] Why do the disciples of John, fast often, & make prayers, & [also] the [Pharisees'] disciples, but [Yours] eat & drink?

*And [Jesus] said to them, Can you make the children of the [bride's chamber, a.k.a. friends of the bride,] fast, while the bridegroom is with them? *But the days will [happen,] when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, & they shall fast in those days. [Mark 16:10-11 *And she, [a.k.a. Mary Magdalene,] went & told [those, who] had been with [Jesus,] as they mourned & wept. And when they had heard that [Jesus] was alive, & had been seen [by] her, [didn't believe.]

*And [Jesus] also [spoke] a parable to them. [Psalm 78:1-4 [Listen,] O My people, to My Law. [Lean] your ears to the Words of My mouth. *I will open My mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old, [that] we have heard & known, & our [forefathers] have told us. We won't hide them from their children, [declaring] the praises of the Lord, His strength, & His wonderful works, [a.k.a.miracles,] He has done, to the generation to come.]

No man [puts] a piece [from] a new garment, [into] an old [garment.] If otherwise, then, both the new [material] makes a [tear,] & the piece that was taken out of the new [garment] doesn't agree with the old.

And no man [puts] new wine into old bottles, else the new wine will burst the bottles, & be spilled, & the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles, [so] both are preserved. Also, no man having drunk old wine, [immediately desires] new [wine,] for he [says,] The old [wine] is better.

John 13:1-38 Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

 

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

John 13:1-38          The Gospel According to John [in Smaller Chunks]

Now, before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour [had] come, [so] that He should depart [from] this world, to the Father, having loved His Own, [who] were in the world, [whom] He Loved [until] the end. [Matthew 26:18-19 And [Jesus] said, Go into the city to such a man, & say to him, The Master, [a.k.a. Teacher, says,] My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them. And they made the Passover ready.]

And supper being [finished,] the devil [had already] put to [betray Jesus,] into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son. Jesus [had] come from God & [knew] the Father had given all things into His hands, & [that He] [was going] to God.

[John 17:1-2 Jesus [spoke] these Words, & lifted up His eyes to heaven, & said, Father, the hour [has] come. Glorify Your Son, [so] that Your Son may also glorify You: [since] You have given Him power over all flesh, [so] that He should give eternal Life to as many as You [have] given Him.]

[Jesus rose] from supper, & [put] aside His garments; & took a towel, & [strapped] [it around] Himself. After [Jesus] poured water into a [basin,] & began to wash the disciples' feet, & [He] [wiped] them with the towel, [with which] was [around Him.]

Then, [Jesus came] to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, Lord, [Do] You wash my feet? Jesus answered & said, to [Peter,] What I do, you don't know, [a.k.a. understand] now; but you shall know [after this.] [John 12:16 [Jesus'] disciples [didn't understand] these things [in] the [beginning:] but then they remembered when Jesus was glorified, that these things were written [about] Him, & they had done these things [for] Him.]

Peter [said] to [Jesus,] You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I [don't] wash you, you [have] no part with Me. Simon Peter [said] to [Jesus,] Lord, [don't] only [wash] my feet, but also [wash] my hands & my head.

Jesus said to [Peter,] He, [who] is washed, [a.k.a. bathed, doesn't need] to wash [except for] his feet, but every [bit] is clean, but not all [of you.] For [Jesus] knew who [would] betray Him.

*[That's why Jesus] said, You are not all clean, for He knew who [would] betray Him. [Luke 22:47-48 *And while [Jesus still spoke, & saw] a multitude, & he, [who] was called Judas, 1 of the 12, went [in front of] them, & drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. But Jesus said to him, Judas, [do] you [betray] the Son of Man with a kiss?]

So, after [Jesus] had washed their feet, & had taken His garments, & was [sitting] down again, He said to them, [Do] you know what I have done to you? You call Me Master & Lord. And you say well; for I Am so. Then, if your Lord & Master, [has] washed your feet, you [should] also wash one another's feet.

For I have given you an example, [so] that you should do as I have done to you. [Very, truly,] I say to you, The servant is not greater, [a.k.a. more significant,] than his lord. Neither is He greater than He, [Who] sent Him.

[Luke 22:27 For [which] is greater, he, [who sits] at [dinner,] or he, [who serves?] Isn't [it] he, [who sits] at [dinner?] But I Am among you, [like] He, [Who] serves.]

If you know these things, you are happy if you do them. I [don't] speak of all [of] you. I know whom I have chosen. *But [so] that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He, [who] eats bread with Me, [has] lifted up his heel against Me. [Psalm 41:9 *[Yes,] [My] Own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, [who ate] of My bread, [has] lifted up his heel against Me.]

Now, I tell you before it [happens, so] that, when it [happens,] you may believe that I Am He. [Very, truly,] I say to you, He, [who] receives, [a.k.a. accepts, whomever] I send, [receives] Me. And he, [who receives] Me, receives Him, Who] sent Me. [1 John 2:23 [Whoever denies] the Son, the same [doesn't have] the Father. [But] he, [who acknowledges] the Son, also [has] the Father.]

*When Jesus had said [this,] He was troubled in spirit, & testified, & said, [Very, truly,] I say to you, that one of you shall betray Me. [John 18:2-5 *And Judas, [who] also betrayed [Jesus,] knew the place. For Jesus [often went there,] with His disciples. Then, Judas, having received a [squad] of men & officers from the chief priests & Pharisees, [came there] with lanterns, torches, & weapons.

Therefore, Jesus knowing all things, [that] should [happen to] Him, went [forward] & said to them, Whom [do] you seek? They answered Him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus [said] to them, I Am He. And also Judas, [who] betrayed Him, stood with [the squad.]

Then, the disciples looked [at] one another, [questioning] of whom [Jesus spoke.] Now, there was one of His disciples leaning [against] Jesus' [chest,] whom Jesus loved. [John 21:24 This is the disciple, [who testifies about] these things, & wrote these things. And we know that his testimony is true.]

Therefore, Simon Peter [motioned] to him, [so] that he should ask, who it [was] of whom [Jesus spoke.] Then, [leaning against] Jesus' [chest,] he said to Him, Lord, who is it? *Jesus answered, It is he, to whom I shall give [a piece of bread,] when I have dipped it.

And when [Jesus] had dipped [the bread,] He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after [the dipped bread,] Satan entered into [Judas.] [Luke 22:3-6 *Then, Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, being [1] of the 12. Then, [Judas] went [on] his way, & [talked] with the chief priests, & [leaders,] [about] how he might betray [Jesus] to them. And they were glad, & [contracted] to give [Judas] money. And [Judas] promised, & sought [an] opportunity to betray [Jesus] to them, [without] the multitude.]

Then Jesus said to [Judas,] [What] you do, do quickly. Now, no man at the table knew for what [reason Jesus spoke] this to [Judas.] For some of them thought, because Judas had the [money] bag, that Jesus had said to [Judas,] Buy those things we need [for] the feast. Or, that [Judas] should give something to the poor. [John 12:5-6 Why wasn't this ointment sold for 300 pence, & given to the poor. [Judas] said this, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, & had the bag, & [carried] what was put [in it.]

Having received the [dipped bread, Judas] went out immediately: & it was night. Therefore, when [Judas had] gone out, Jesus said, Now the Son of Man is glorified, & God is glorified [by] Him. If God [is] glorified [by] Him, God shall also glorify Him, [through] Himself, & shall [immediately,] glorify Him.

[John 12:23-24 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour [has] come, that the Son of Man should be glorified. [Very, truly,] I say to you, [Unless] a [kernel] of wheat [falls] into the ground & [dies,] it [remains] alone. But if it [dies,] it [produces] much fruit.]

Little children, [still] I Am with you a little while. You shall seek Me. And [like] I have said to the Jews, [Where] I go, you can't come. [John 14:19 [Still] [in] a little while, & the world [shall] no [longer see] Me; but you see Me. Because I live, you shall also live.]

*So, now I say to you, I give to you a new commandment, That you love one another; as I have loved you, [so] that you also love one another. [Leviticus 19:18 *You shall not avenge, nor bear, [a.k.a. carry,] any grudge against the children of your people, but you [shall] love your neighbor as yourself. I Am the Lord.]

All men shall know that you are My disciples, by this, if you have love to one another. [1 John 2:5-6 But [whoever keeps] His Word, the love of God is perfected in him. [By this,] we know that  we are in Him. He, [who says] he abides, [a.k.a. continues] in Him, [should] himself, also walk, [a.k.a. follow,] even as [Jesus] walked.]

Simon Peter said to [Jesus,] [Where] [do] You go? Jesus answered [Peter,] [Where] I go, you can't follow Me now; but you shall follow Me afterwards. Peter said to Him, Lord, why can't I follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake.

*Jesus answered [Peter,] [Will] you lay down your life for My sake? [Very truly,] I say to you, The cock, [a.k.a. rooster,] shall not crow, [until] you [have] denied Me [3 times.] [Matthew 26:69-75 *Now, Peter sat [outside] in the palace. And a damsel came to him, saying, You also [were] with Jesus of Galilee. But [Peter] denied [in front of] them all, saying, I [don't] know what you [say.]

And when [Peter had] gone out to the porch, another maid saw him, & said to [those, who] were there, This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth. And again, [Peter] denied with an oath, I don't know the Man.

And after a while, [those, who] stood by came to him, & said to  Peter, Surely, you [are] also one of them. For your speech [betrays] you. Then, [Peter] began to curse & swear, saying, I [don't] know the Man. And immediately the cock [crowed.]

And Peter remembered the [Words] of Jesus, [Who] said to him, Before the cock [crows,] you [shall] deny Me [3 times.] And [Peter] went out, & wept bitterly.]
