Luke
Luke 22:54–57
54Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.
55When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. 56A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.
57But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.
