Matthew 26:69-70
Now Peter was sitting in the courtyard of the palace and a girl came over to him and said, “You were with Jesus of Galilee.”
But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
Mark 14:66-68
And as Peter was below the palace, a female servant of the high priest came by. And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You were one of those with Jesus of Nazareth.”
But he denied it, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about, or even understand what you’re saying.” And he went out to the porch and the rooster crowed.
Luke 22:54-58
Peter followed at a distance. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall and sat down by it, Peter sat down with them.
But a girl saw him as he sat by the fire, and concentrated her gaze on him. She then said, “This man was also with him.”
And he denied him, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”
Shortly thereafter, another noticed him and said, “You are part of their group.”
And Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
John 18:25
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They asked him, “Are you not also one of his disciples?”
He denied it, and said, “I am not.”
