will all become deserters; for it is written,“I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.” 28But after I am raised up, I will go before you to
Galilee.’ 29Peter said to him, ‘Even though all become deserters, I will not.’ 30Jesus said to him, ‘Truly I tell you, this day, this very night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times.’ 31But he said
vehemently, ‘Even though I must die with you, I will not deny you.’ And all of them said the same.

Peter’s Denial of JesusCompare and contrast
Mark 15:66-72Matthew 26:69-75
Luke 22:56-62John 18:15-18, 25-27
Mark 14:66-72 66 While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-
girls of the high priest came by. 67When she saw Peter warming himself, she stared at him and said, ‘You also were with Jesus, the man from Nazareth.’ 68But he denied it, saying, ‘I do not
know or understand what you are talking about.’ And he went out into the forecourt. Then the cock crowed. 69And the servant-girl, on seeing him, began again to say to the bystanders, ‘This man is one of them.’ 70But again he denied it. Then after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, ‘Certainly you are one of them; for you are a Galilean.’ 71But he began to curse, and he swore an oath, ‘I do not know this man you are talking about.’ 72At that moment the cock crowed for the second time. Then
Peter remembered that Jesus had said to him, ‘Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times.’ And he broke down
and wept.

The church of St Peter in Galligantu is built on four different levels — upper church, middle church, guardroom and
dungeon. The modern church was built in 1931 on the site of a Crusader-era church from 1102 and a Byzantine shrine
built in 457.
In the courtyard a statue depicts Peter’s denial, including the rooster, the woman
who questioned Peter, and a Roman soldier.
The ceiling is a striking feature. It is dominated by a huge cross-shaped window
designed in a radiant variety of colors.
The mosaic over the altar depicts a bound Jesus being questioned by the Sanhidrin in the house of
CaiaphasVideo

Jesus held captive
This underground cavern is believed to be where Jesus was imprisoned.
The guardroom contains wall fixtures to attach prisoners’ chains. Holes in the stone pillars would have been used to fasten a
prisoner’s hands and feet when he was flogged.Video
The only access to the bottle-necked prisoner cell was through a shaft from above, so the prisoner would have been lowered and raised by means of a rope harness.
It is assumed Jesus was lowered into the pit through this shaft
