Peter's Denial

MAID BY THE FIRE

I think I've seen you somewhere
I remember
You were with that man they took away
I recognize your face

PETER

You've got the wrong man lady
I don't know him
And I wasn't where he was tonight
Never near the place

SOLDIER

That's strange, for I am sure I saw you with with him
You were right by his side, and yet you denied

PETER

I tell you I was never with him

OLD MAN

But I saw you too
He looked just like you

PETER

I don't know him!

MARY MAGDALENE

Peter, don't you know what you have said
You've gone and cut him dead

PETER

I had to do it, don't you see?
Or else they'd go for me

MARY MAGDALENE

It's what he told us you would do
I wonder how he knew
