Peter denied Jesus...Two Times?

[Danc2050]

Hello all,

I was reading the Gospel of John again and stumbled across a passage I've repeatedly been confused by. So, I thought I'd ask you all what you think.

In John 25-28, Peter denies Jesus -- from my count TWO times -- and then a rooster crows (NASB). Jesus foretells that Peter will deny Jesus in John 13:38, however Jesus says THREE times and then a rooster crows.

Am I missing something?

Joh 18:16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
Joh 18:17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
Joh 18:18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
Joh 18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
Joh 18:20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
Joh 18:21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
Joh 18:22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
Joh 18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
Joh 18:24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
Joh 18:25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
Joh 18:26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
Joh 18:27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] crew.

Three times.

I feel silly for asking now, but thanks @ewq1938 and @disciple Clint!

no need to feel silly even people who are formally educated in Theology skip over things and sometime even ask questions that they look back on later as being something they knew but had forgotten. If you have a question ask it, far better to ask a silly question than to have unresolved doubt
