<P> All four canonical gospels recount that, during the Last Supper, Jesus foretold that Peter would deny him three times before the following cockcrow ("before the cock crows twice" in Mark's account). </P> <P> The three Synoptics and John describe the three denials as follows: </P> <Ol> <Li> A denial when a female servant of the high priest spots Simon Peter, saying that he had been with Jesus . According to Mark (but not in all manuscripts), "the rooster crowed". Only Luke and John mention a fire by which Peter was warming himself among other people: according to Luke, Peter was "sitting"; according to John, he was "standing". </Li> <Li> A denial when Simon Peter had gone out to the gateway, away from the firelight, but the same servant girl (Mark) or another servant girl (Matthew) or a man (Luke and also John, for whom, though, this is the third denial) told the bystanders he was a follower of Jesus . According to John, "the rooster crowed". </Li> <Li> A denial came when Peter's Galilean accent was taken as proof that he was indeed a disciple of Jesus . According to Matthew, Mark and Luke, "the rooster crowed". Matthew adds that it was his accent that gave him away as coming from Galilee . Luke deviates slightly from this by stating that, rather than a crowd accusing Simon Peter, it was a third individual . John does not mention the Galilean accent . </Li> </Ol> <Li> A denial when a female servant of the high priest spots Simon Peter, saying that he had been with Jesus . According to Mark (but not in all manuscripts), "the rooster crowed". Only Luke and John mention a fire by which Peter was warming himself among other people: according to Luke, Peter was "sitting"; according to John, he was "standing". </Li>
