Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:67 -

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:73 - 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 [fn]gives you away.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:74 - Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the Man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
