Peter denied Jesus a total of three times.
AnswerIt was at least 6 or 7 times:A servant girl, another girl, and then a crowd of people.Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. But he denied before them all.... And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. And again he denied .... And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. Matthew 26:69-73A servant girl, the same girl again, and then a crowd of people.And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. But he denied..... And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto. But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. Mark 14:66-71A servant girl, a man, and then another man.Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. ... But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. And he denied him.... And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. Luke 22:54-60A girl at the door, several anonymous persons, one of the high priest's servants.And Simon Peter followed Jesus ... and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. ... Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.... And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew. John 18:15-17, 25-27 Answer:Jesus made the prediction that Peter would deny Him three times. Matthew 26:33-34 " Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice." Mark 14:29-30 " Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice." Luke 22:33-34 " I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me." John 13:37-38 " Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice."

Peter, John and James sons of Zebedee were the strongest in faith of the Twelve, hence they were chosen by Jesus for the receiving of instruction necessary for the foundation of the Church. Ref: New Testament - 'he suffered no man to follow him but Peter, James, and John...' 'He took Peter, John, and James, and went up the mountain to pray' 'He suffered no man to go in to heal the maiden but Peter, John, and James...' etc; Clement - 'Peter, James, and John, being favoured of the Lord above the rest...', 'the Lord gave to James the Just, and Peter, and John, the gift of knowledge, and they gave it to the other apostles, who gave it to the seventy...'.

What would peter say to Jesus?
It would depend upon your question. In the Book of Mark, Chapter 8, when Jesus says to His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" Peter answers, "Thou art the Christ" (Mark 8:29). When Peter said to Jesus, "I shall never deny you Master." Jesus, told Peter, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times." This was during the Last Supper. Before the cock crowed twice, on the day of the Crucifixion, Peter denied three times that he knew Jesus. Peter later wept in repentance (Mark 14:72).

According to the Christian scriptures, he was a fisherman, until Jesus called him to follow. He then became an apostle/disciple of Jesus and started to spread the Gospel.

He is known more familiarly as "Saint Peter".

When Jesus was arrested,the most hard two things were: 1)that He will start a very long journey of pain and that will end with His Crucifiction. 2)that we was betrayed by one of His disciples,He knew that He will be betrayed by one of His disciples and He knew that this disciple is Judas but He also knew that His disciples will start to leave Him and that Saint Peter will start to deny Him... all these reasons were enough to make Jesus really sad when He was arrested...
Why did the Rock or Peter deny Christ?
I think Peter thought, even hoped that Jesus was the Christ. But thinking is not knowing. His life was more important to him than that of a near stranger who he thought was the Christ but was not sure. Matt 26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the rooster crows, thou shalt deny me three times. Peter knew that Jesus was the Christ, his denial of Jesus was a separate issue apart from his faith and belief in who Jesus was and is. Matthew 16:15-17 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Jesus had already foretold that Peter would deny him three times before the Rooster crew. Christians are like tea bags, don't know what kind of tea they make until you put them in hot water. This shows the human response and the frailty of man and let the record reflect that not all of Jesus disciples were supermen. This account has so much value, we learn from this example about making claims to reveal our capacity of integrity. This examples shows that Peter was strong in most areas of his early walk in Christianity but also frail in this area but this does not end hear with Peter's denial, Peter later on makes up for it. The reason why Peter denied Jesus was to show that Jesus knows our heart at present and future, expose the frailty of man, strengthen us through example, how deny sel preservation for Jesus sake and not be ashamed, and not to fear the opinion of the world and popular view. Even after three years of being discipled by Jesus, Peter was to show the richness of God's mercy and forgiveness through Peter's repentance from this personal act of his.
