Context — Peter's Denialgenerated
John 18:27 describes a critical moment when Peter, despite being a close follower of Jesus, denies knowing Him for the third time. This denial occurs after a servant girl recognizes Peter as one of Jesus' companions. The crowing of the rooster serves as a fulfillment of Jesus' earlier prediction about Peter's denial, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and Peter's fear in the face of potential persecution.

The Key Word — ἠρνήσατο, arneomaigenerated
The Greek word ἀρνέομαι (*arneomai*) is a verb meaning 'to deny' or 'to disown.' It is in the aorist tense, indicating a completed action in the past, and is used here in the middle voice, suggesting that Peter himself is the subject of the action — he is actively denying his association with Jesus.
This word captures the essence of Peter's rejection, as he asserts that he does not know Jesus. It is significant in the context of the New Testament, where it often relates to the themes of faithfulness and betrayal, especially in the light of Jesus' predictions regarding Peter's denials.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.' This is mirrored in the KJV and ASV, which use similar phrasing.
Where translations differ is in the rendering of ἀλέκτωρ. The KJV and ASV use 'cock', while the BSB and WEB opt for 'rooster'. This reflects a choice between more traditional and modern terminology.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The sentence contains two main clauses. The first clause is centered around the verb ἠρνήσατο, with Πέτρος as the subject and πάλιν as an adverbial modifier indicating repetition. The second clause presents the action of the rooster crowing, with ἀλέκτωρ as the subject and ἐφώνησεν as the verb.
This structure emphasizes the sequence of events: Peter's denial occurs first, followed immediately by the crowing of the rooster, reinforcing the connection between Peter's actions and Jesus' prophecy.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In John 18:27, the word πάλιν (palin), meaning 'again', is used to convey repetition. This term appears in the Septuagint, where it is used to translate the Hebrew word שׁוּב (shuv), which means 'to turn back' or 'return'. The choice of πάλιν emphasizes the cyclical nature of Peter's denial, suggesting a return to the same failure.
The conjunction οὖν (oun), meaning 'then', also appears in the Septuagint, often translating the Hebrew word עַתָּ֫ה (attah), which denotes 'now' or a point in time. This connection underscores the immediacy of the moment when the rooster crows after Peter's denial, linking his action to its consequence.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
John 18:27 tells us that Peter denied knowing Jesus for the third time, just as Jesus had predicted. This moment is crucial as it highlights Peter's fear and the fulfillment of Jesus' words about his denial before the rooster crows.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Peter's denial signifies the struggle between fear and faith, illustrating how even the closest followers of Jesus can falter in difficult times.
The rooster's crow serves as a reminder of Jesus' prediction about Peter's denial, marking a pivotal moment of realization for Peter.

The Greek word πάλιν (*palin*) is an adverb meaning 'again' or 'back.' It encompasses both spatial and temporal contexts, indicating a return to a previous position or the repetition of an action. In the New Testament, it appears in various verses, such as Matthew 4:8 and John 1:35. The lexicons note its use for both literal and rhetorical purposes, but there is no significant disagreement among them.

ADV ADVerb or adverb and particle combined
a-gen': Advb. denoting repetition; in New Testament, generally for palin, "back," "once more." Occasionally, it has the force of a connective, synonymous with "moreover," as in Ro 15:10 ff; 1Co 3:20, etc. The expression "born again" of the King James Version, Joh 3:3,7; 1Pe 1:23, translating the Greek "anothen" and "ana" in composition, becomes in the Revised Version (British and American) "anew," i.e. "over again." As these particles mean "from above" and "up," their use as indicating repetition is sometimes disputed, but without further foundation than that "again" does not exhaust the meaning.

The Greek word οὖν (oun) is a particle used to express consequence, sequence, or to resume a narrative. It translates to 'therefore,' 'then,' or 'accordingly,' and appears frequently in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:10 and Romans 5:9.

The Greek word ἀρνέομαι (i.e., *arneomai*) means to deny, disown, or refuse. It is a deponent verb, often used in contexts of rejecting or contradicting, particularly in relation to Jesus and personal beliefs. The New Testament employs it in various forms, including in Matthew 10:33 and Titus 2:12. Notably, some sources indicate that its use with an accusative of a person is primarily found in Christian literature.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word Πέτρος (i.e., *Petros*) means 'rock' or 'stone' and refers specifically to Simon Peter, the Apostle. It is derived from a primary word indicating a piece of rock and is used in the New Testament to denote Peter's identity and role. The entries consistently emphasize its connection to the name Cephas and its metaphorical implications of strength and stability.

Peter
Originally called Simon (=Simeon ,i.e., “hearing”), a very common Jewish name in the New Testament. He was the son of Jona (Matt. 16:17). His mother is nowhere named in Scripture. He had a younger brother called Andrew, who first brought him to Jesus (John 1:40-42). His native town was Bethsaida, on the western coast of the Sea of Galilee, to which also Philip belonged. Here he was brought up by the shores of the Sea of Galilee, and was trained to the occupation of a fisher. His father had probably died while he was still young, and he and his brother were brought up under the care of Zebedee and his wife Salome (Matt. 27:56; Mark 15:40; 16:1). There the four youths…
(a rock or stone). The original name of this disciple was Simon, i.e. "hearer." He was the son of a man named Jonas, (Matthew 16:17; John 1:42; 21:16) and was brought up in his father’s occupation, that of a fisherman. He and his brother Andrew were partners of John end James, the sons of Zebedee, who had hired servants. Peter did not live, as a mere laboring man, in a hut by the seaside, but first at Bethsaida, and afterward in a house at Capernaum belonging to himself or his mother-in-law, which must have been rather a large one, since he received in it not only our Lord and his fellow disciples, but multitudes who were attracted by the miracles and preaching of Jesus. Peter was probably between thirty and forty pears of age at the date of his call. That call was preceded by a…
This name in Greek signifies a rock, as does also the name Cephas in Syriac. Peter was one of the twelve apostles, and was also called Simon, Mt 16:17, and Simeon, Ac 15:14. He was of Bethsaida, and was the son of Jonas, a fisherman, which occupation he also followed. After his marriage he resided at Capernaum, Mt 8:14 Lu 4:38, though called at a later period to labor else where as an apostle, and it would seem often accompanied in his journeys by his wife, 1Co 9:5. When first introduced to Jesus by his brother Andrew, he received from Him the name of Peter, Joh 1:42…

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

The Greek word εὐθέως (i.e. *eutheōs*) is an adverb meaning 'immediately' or 'at once.' It is derived from εὐθύς and is used frequently in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels. Notably, some lexicons indicate that εὐθέως appears in various contexts, while others mention its interchangeability with εὐθύς in certain verses, particularly in Mark.

The Greek word ἀλέκτωρ (i.e., *alektōr*) means 'a cock' or 'rooster.' It appears in the New Testament in several passages, including Matthew 26:34 and John 13:38. The word is derived from a root meaning 'to ward off.' While most entries agree on its meaning, Liddell-Scott-Jones notes a possible connection to the term for 'not speaking'.
ἀλέκτωρ, -opos, 6, acock, (Lat. gallus gallinaceus) : Mt. xxvi. 34, 74sq.; Mk. xiv. 30,68 [Lehm. br.], 72; Lk. xxii. 34,60 sq.; Jn. xiii.38; xviii. 27. Cf. Lob. ad Phryn. p. 229; (Rutherford, New Phryn. p. 307; W. 23; see also BB.DD.s. v.; Tristram, Nat. Hist. of the Bible, p. 221 sq. 5 esp. Egli, Zeitschr. f. wiss. Theol., 1879 p. 517 sqq.].
ἀλέκτωρ. See Rutherford WP p. 307 for the history of this word (MGr ἀλόχτερας) in classical Greek. It is found in P Tebt I. 140 (B.c. 72) τι[μὴ]ν ἀλέκτορος καὶ ἀρτοπίνακος. Add P Ryl 11. 166% (A.p. 26) ἀ. ἕνα (which, as in 16718, is promised as a yearly offering, in the proposal to take upa lease), P Fay 119®® (c. A.D. 100) ἀλέκτορας δέκα, BGU 1. From a later time (iii/iv A.D., according to Leemans) comes P Leid Vix. 31,52, x.1, where we have (τὸν) ἀλέκτορα dis, and then ἀλεκτόρου: so Wiinsch AF 315 (imperial) ὁ ἀλέκτωρ. It was clearly the normal Kowy form; but ἀλεκτρυόνων may still be seen in P Oxy IX. 12078 (a.p. 175-6?) ἀ. τελείων τεσσάρων, in the same phrase as BGU IV. 1067 Zc. It is noteworthy that ἀλεκτρύων occurs in the well-known Gospel fragment (A/2¢tez/angen of the Rainer Papyri I. i. 54) © ἀλεκτρύων Sis κοκ[κύξει]. Cf.

φωνέω is built from the root for sound and means to call out, cry aloud, or speak. It applies to both humans and animals, including the crowing of a cock, as noted in Matthew 26:34. The word can also mean to summon or invite, and it appears frequently in the New Testament, particularly in contexts of addressing or calling individuals.
