THE COCK CREW TWICE!
The Gospel of St. Mark according to the Douay-Rheims version states in 14:30. And Jesus saith to him (Peter): Amen I say to thee, to-day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
*Crow twice... The cocks crow at two different times of the night; viz., about midnight for the first time; and then about the time commonly called the cock crowing; i.e. 3a.m.
14:66. Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the maidservants of the high priest.
14:67. And when she had seen Peter warming himself looking on him, she saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
14:68. But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew.
14:69. And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers by: This is one of them.
14:70. But he denied again. And after a, while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean.
14:71. But he began o curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of whom you speak.
14:72. And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep,
Peter was the disciple who both affirmed faith in Jesus (Mark 8:29) and denied him three times (Mark 14:66-72). Superficially, these are unrelated events, yet the reader of Mark's Gospel finds a great sense of betrayal in Peter's denials. The reason for this is that this, the first New Testament gospel to be written, is based around a parallel structure that uses context and association to create emphasis and develop themes that would otherwise be hidden. In the following table, we see that Peter affirmed Jesus in event T, and denies Jesus three times in event T'. Remembering Jesus' warning in event T, "Whosoever shall be ashamed of me: of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed," Peter then wept (event U').A .

No, there is no mention in the Bible of Jesus compensating the owner of the pigs in this particular miracle. The focus is on the demon-possessed man being freed from his affliction rather than the material loss of the pigs.
In Mark's Gospel, unclean spirits called Jesus "Son of God." In this, the original New Testament gospel, Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man and only outsiders call him the Son of God - this includes unclean spirits, demons and human adversaries such as the high priest. Jesus refuses to acknowledge that appellation and commands the unclean spirits to be quiet.The author of Mark seems reluctant to have Jesus or the disciples say what might have been thought as blasphemous around 70 CE, but this is not so in the later gospels. By listing the major events in the framework structure of Mark's Gospel, we can see more clearly how Jesus calls himself the Son of Man, Peter calls him the Messiah, and demons and the high priest call him the son of God. We can also see that God himself twice calls Jesus his son. The major events in the gospel are:A . John explains the coming of Jesus (Mark 1:1-8)B .The baptism of Jesus (1:9)C . The voice of God from heaven, "Thou art my beloved son" (1:11)D . The forty days in the wilderness as an allusion to Elijah and Moses (1:13)E . The people were astonished at what Jesus taught (1:22)F . Jesus casts out an unclean spirit (1:23-26)G . Pharisees took counsel with the Herodians how they might destroy Jesus (3:6)H .

The Transfiguration of Jesus is an event in the gospels, in which Jesus took Peter, John and James up a mountain, where they saw his appearance change and he spoke to strangers that the disciples somehow knew without question were Moses and Elijah, offering to build three tabernacles, one each for Jesus, Moses and Elijah. They heard the voice of God from heaven.Read literally, the sole reason for this journey was to let the three disciples see Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah. Yet they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. In spite of this life-changing event, and its supposedly absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus.Mark's Gospel is regarded as the first of the New Testament gospels to be written, and in its original form had no resurrection appearances, with the "Long Ending" (verses 16:9-20) only added much later. Thus it was important for Mark that there be confirmation that Jesus really was the son of God. The Transfiguration was Mark's most important proof of the relationship of Jesus to God, as well as mirroring the baptism of Jesus. We can see the baptism and the Transfiguration as literary counterpoints in the structure of Mark, when we look at the two major divisions of the Gospel. The first division begins with John explaining the coming of Jesus, followed by the baptism and the voice of God from heaven, and ends with Jesus predicting the passion story. The second division begins with the Transfiguration of Jesus and the voice of God from heaven, and ends with his passion story, followed by the young man explaining the departure of Jesus.The Gospels of Matthew and Luke are known to have relied on Mark for their information about the life and mission of Jesus. However, each its its own way has stories about the resurrection appearances of Jesus and so for these gospels, the Transfiguration becomes less important. A similar situation applies with the Gospel of John.
A:Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed, and they saw him talking to two strangers. Somehow, the disciples knew without question that the strangers talking to Jesus were Moses and Elijah. Read literally, the sole reason for this journey was to let the three disciples see Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah, yet they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. In spite of this life-changing event, and its absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus. If the Transfiguration ever happened, it must be that the disciples were less sure of who the strangers were than is suggested in the gospel story. Why they even thought the men were Moses and Elijah is not stated.

He has never denied being the owner!
The most recent owner was Peter Karmanos.
In the parable of the tenants (found in Matthew 21, Mark 12, and Luke 20), the vineyard owner represents God, the servants represent the Old Testament prophets, the owner's only son represents Jesus, and the tenants represent the Pharisees. The Pharisees had been entrusted with God's word, and they were to to sow it among the people. When God sent prophets in the Old Testament, they were ridiculed and persecuted. When God sent His Son, they denied Him as their Master, refused to listen to Him, and were responsible for His death. Jesus says that the vineyard owner would naturally kill the tenants and give the vineyard to others who will give the owner his dues. In this parable, Jesus is warning the Pharisees that they would be destroyed, and others would take their place. According to history, by about 70 AD Israel was destroyed and the Jews were either killed, scattered, or enslaved. Peter, Paul, and other devout Christians were given the responsibility of guarding and distributing the message of God and Jesus.
