Ellen Gould White über: "In the Gospels it is reported that the rooster crowed only after Peter denied Jesus three times. In one Gospel it even says twice... Could you please check Ellen White’s writings, because I think that the rooster crowed the second time after Peter denied Jesus three times?"

Ellen White describes in “The Life of Jesus” very clearly that the rooster crowed the second time only after Peter’s third denial. Peter heard this second crowing and then remembered Jesus’ words that predicted that he would deny him three times before the rooster crows twice. Ellen White’s depiction therefore agrees with the questioner’s view – the second crowing occurred after the third denial.

The rooster crows after the third denial

»Now Peter denied his Master with curses and oaths. Then the rooster crowed a second time. Peter heard it and remembered Jesus’ words: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”«
