Peter's Denial
Andrew Lloyd Webber
MAID BY THE FIRE
I think I've seen you somewhere
I remember
You were with that man they took away
I recognize your face
PETER
You've got the wrong man lady
I don't know him
And I wasn't where he was tonight
Never near the place
SOLDIER
That's strange, for I am sure I saw you with with him
You were right by his side, and yet you denied
PETER
I tell you I was never with him
OLD MAN
But I saw you too
He looked just like you
PETER
I don't know him!
MARY MAGDALENE
Peter, don't you know what you have said
You've gone and cut him dead
PETER
I had to do it, don't you see?
Or else they'd go for me
MARY MAGDALENE
It's what he told us you would do
I wonder how he knew
