Mark 14:69-72 (KJV)

And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto. But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

“And when he thought thereon he wept,” and Luke says, Peter “went out and wept bitterly.” Peter committed a terrible sin in denying Christ three times, but thank God he repented and returned to God’s favor. If more sinners would only stop and think about their wrongs, perhaps more would come to repentance. Psalm 119:59 reads, “I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto Thy testimonies.”
