[Mark 14:30 KJV] "And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, [even] in this night, before the **** crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice."
Jesus said the **** would crow twice, and before each crow, Peter would deny Christ three times. This
would mean Peter denied the Lord a total of six times, not just three as tradition dictates.
The reason very few see this is because they are only looking at each individual account in the four gospels. Peter's denial spans all four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They verses in all four gospels piece together like a puzzle. I will provide the detailed study separately, but this will serve as an overview.

[Matthew 26:70 KJV] "But he denied before [them] all, saying, I know not what thou sayest." ********** 2nd denial
[Matthew 26:72 KJV] "And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man." ****** 3rd denial
[Mark 14:68 KJV] "But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the **** crew." ******** 1st CROW

[Luke 22:58 KJV] "And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not." ********** 5th denial
[Mark 14:71 KJV] "But he began to curse and to swear, [saying], I know not this man of whom ye speak." ********* 6th denial
