Then he began to call down curses on himself and he swore to them, "I don't know the man!" Immediately a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly. The Gospel of Luke 22:59–62 describes the moment of the last denial as follows:
Jesus declared in Gospel accounts of Matthew, Luke and John that Peter would deny him three times before cock-crow. Mark states that the cock crowed after the first denial as well as after the third denial. (First crow is not found in the NIV version) Christians argue that the first cock-crow is simply missing from Matthew, Luke, and John. In ...
The temptation of Christ is a biblical narrative detailed in the gospels of Matthew, [1] Mark, [2] and Luke. [3] After being baptized by John the Baptist, Jesus was tempted by the devil after 40 days and nights of fasting in the Judaean Desert.
Matthew 4 is the fourth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament of Christian Bible.

[4] Pseudo-Chrysostom: "Yet He says not, Thou shalt not tempt me thy Lord God; but, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God; which every man of God when tempted by the Devil might say; for whoso tempts a man of God, tempts God." [4]
There is a mountain near Jericho that is popularly claimed to be the site of this temptation, but France notes there is no scriptural or historical evidence to support this. [1] There is possibly a link between this verse and Moses viewing the Holy Land in Deuteronomy 3:27 and Deuteronomy 34:1–4, but Nolland does not think such a link is ...
Now, in response to Jesus' questioning, Peter affirms his love for Jesus three times. William Hendriksen notes some other correspondences between this episode and that of Peter's denial. For example, it is at a charcoal (ἀνθρακιὰν) fire where Peter first denied Jesus (John 18:18) and now is asked to confess his love for his master ...
