Most translations of The Bible say that it was a rooster that crowed, but at least one version (the King James version) says that a cock crowed.

This is interesting, because when most people here either the word cock or rooster, they immediately think of a male chicken, but by the dictionary definition, a cock is either a male chicken, OR the male of any bird, esp. of the gallinaceous type. The definition of rooster is the male of a domestic fowl, AND CERTAIN GAME BIRDS. So, a cock may not have referred to a male chicken at all as most people asume.

Matthew 26:74 (New International Version): Then he began to call down curses on himself and he swore to them, "I don't know the man!" Immediately a rooster crowed.

Matthew 26:74 (King James Version): Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

Because he would use Peter as a "strong foundation" to build up the churchNote: Actually this belief is common especially among Catholics, but a careful study of the words Jesus used shows Jesus was referring to himself as the Rock.The name Peter means stone or little rock. The Christian church has Christ as it's foundation, otherwise it wouldn't be a "Christian" church, if Peter was the foundation it would be the "Peterian" church.
