SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:30
Y le dice Jess: De cierto te digo hoy, en esta noche, antes que el gallo haya cantado dos veces, t me negars tres veces.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 14:30
Verse 30. That THOU] su is added by ABEGHKLMS-V, eighty-eight others, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, Coptic, AEthiopic, Armenian, Slavonic, Vulgate, Saxon, Theophylact, and Euthymsus. It adds much to the energy of the passage, every word of which is deeply emphatical. Verily, I say unto thee, that THOU, THIS DAY, in THIS VERY NIGHT, before the cock shall crow TWICE, THOU wilt deny ME.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. And Jesus saith unto him, verily I say unto thee , etc..] As confident as thou art of standing by me, and abiding with me; that this day , which was then begun; for the Jews reckoned their days from evening, as in ( Genesis 1:5); even in this night ; this night to be observed, this night of the passover, before it is past: before the cock crow twice ; for there was a first and second cock crowing, the one at midnight, and the other near break of day, and which last is properly the cock crowing: the word twice is left out in the Ethiopic version: thou shalt deny me thrice ; as he did; (see Gill on Matthew 26:34).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-31 - The Lord's supper is food for the soul, therefore a very little of tha which is for the body, as much as will serve for a sign, is enough. It was instituted by the example and the practice of our Master, to remai in force till his second coming. It was instituted with blessing an giving of thanks, to be a memorial of Christ's death. Frequent mentio is made of his precious blood, as the price of our redemption. Ho comfortable is this to poor repenting sinners, that the blood of Chris is shed for many! If for many, why not for me? It was a sign of the conveyance of the benefits purchased for us by his death. Apply the doctrine of Christ crucified to yourselves; let it be meat and drink to your souls, strengthening and refreshing your spiritual life. It was to be an earnest and foretaste of the happiness of heaven, and thereby to put us out of taste for the pleasures and delights of sense. Every on that has tasted spiritual delights, straightway desires eternal ones Though the great Shepherd passed through his sufferings without on false step, yet his followers often have been scattered by the smal measure of sufferings allotted to them. How very apt we are to thin well of ourselves, and to trust our own hearts! It was ill done of Peter thus to answer his Master, and not with fear and trembling. Lord give me grace to keep me from denying thee.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
30. Cock crow. See on Matt. xxvi. 34. Mark alone adds twice. Deny (aparnhsh). The compound verb signifies utterly deny.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
14:30 {Twice} (dis). this detail only in Mark. One crowing is always the signal for more. The Fayum papyrus agrees with Mark in having dis. The cock-crowing marks the third watch of the night (#Mr 13:35).
