In a courtyard, Saint Peter is questioned by a soldier and a maid. They ask him if he is not one of Christ's disciples. Peter denies knowing Christ personally (Mat 26:69). The print has a Greek, Latin, French, English, German and Dutch caption. The print was used in the following books: Figures de la Bible (Amsterdam: Bernard Picart, 1720) and Taferelen der voornaamste geschiedenissen van het Oude en Nieuwe Testament [...] door de vermaarde kunstenaars Hoet, Houbraken, en Picart getekent [...] en met beschrijvingen uitgebreid (Den Haag: Pieter de Hondt, 1728).
