Matthew Poole and continuators on John 13:38

38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice .

Mark saith, before the cock crow twice. So the other three Evangelists must be expounded, who say no more than before the cock crow, not mentioning how often; but the history makes it good, that our Saviour meant thrice, for it was not before the second crowing of the Cock, that Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
