Matthew Henry
All the evangelists, whatever they omit, give us a particular account of the death and resurrection of Christ, because he died for our sins and rose for our justification, this evangelist as fully as any, and with many circumstances and passages added which we had not before.

And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. That cock crowing had come at the very moment Christ had foretold, for Peter had already denied his Master thrice.
