65Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, "Prophesy!" The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

67and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus."

70But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it."
71But he began to curse, and to swear, "I don`t know this man of whom you speak!"
