MATTHEW 26:74 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.”
Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear: I do not know the man. And immediately the rooster crowed. The third denial with self-cursing: the most extreme form of the oath, invoking divine punishment on himself if he is lying. The immediate rooster crow is the fulfillment of Jesus' prediction (verse 34).
