Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a slave woman came to him and said,“ You too were with Jesus the Galilean.”But he denied it before them all, saying,“ I do not know what you are talking about.”When he had gone out to the gateway, another slave woman saw him and* said to those who were there,“ This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”And again he denied it, with an oath:“ I do not know the man.”A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter,“ You really are one of them as well, since even the way you talk gives you away.”Then he began to curse and swear,“ I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.And Peter remembered the statement that Jesus had made:“ Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and one by the free woman.But the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.This is speaking allegorically, for these women are two covenants: one coming from Mount Sinai giving birth to children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is enslaved with her children.But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.
