“And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.”
King James Version (KJV)
14:72 And he covered his head - Which was a usual custom with mourners, and was fitly expressive both of grief and shame.
Mr 14:72 He wept. The form of the Greek verb (imperfect) implies that he continued weeping. Geike says: ``It is a touching and beautiful tradition, true to the sincerity of his repentance, if not as a historical reality, that, all his life long, the remembrance of this night never left him, and that, morning by morning, he rose at the hour when the look of his Master had entered his soul, to pray once more for pardon.''
And the second time the cocke crew: and Peter called to minde the word that Iesus said vnto him, Before the cockecrow twise, thou shalt denie me thrise. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
