How many times did Peter deny that he knew Jesus?

Answer 1

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."
