In the Gospel it is said: ‘And he went out, and wept bitterly.’

Where it stands

И после этого раза тот час же запел петух, и Петр, взглянув издали на Иисуса, вспомнил слова, которые он сказал ему на вечери… And immediately after that time the cock crowed, and Peter, looking from afar at Jesus, remembered the words he had spoken to him at the supper…

Вспомнил, очнулся, пошел со двора и горько-горько заплакал. He remembered, he came to himself, went out of the courtyard and wept bitterly, bitterly.

Воображаю: тихий-тихий, темный-темный сад, и в тишине едва слышатся глухие рыдания… I can imagine it: a hushed, hushed garden, dark, dark, and in the silence muffled sobbing, barely to be heard…”
