When warned by Jesus that he would deny him three times before the cock crowed\u2014before the dawn\u2014Peter vehemently objected, asserting his fidelity and pledging to die alongside Jesus.

However, the prophecy is realized. Peter first denies his status as a disciple to the maidservant who points an accusatory finger at him while guarding the door to the chief priest\u2019s chamber. Later, admitted to the priest\u2019s rooms, where he warms himself by the fire, Peter again rejects the association when asked a second time; his hands are raised in protest as all await his response.

Finally, questioned a third time, Peter again denies knowing Jesus, just as the cock crows. Betrayed by his disciple, as he had foretold, Jesus in this image looks in Peter\u2019s direction with sadness, as he is escorted away by a jeering crowd. Peter hides from view behind a thick stone archway, his arm covering his face.

Eager to provide insight into the precise timing of the events as they unfolded, Tissot in his commentary refers to his experiences of the Middle East and suggests that the rooster\u2019s third crowing must have occurred at around three in the morning.
