What was the cock doing in the Temple? Was it the actual cock or it was a figurative term?

Let’s dive into this fascinating story.

In the quiet of the night, a prophecy lingered in the air — a warning spoken in solemn tones by the Messiah Himself.
“Truly, I say to you… this very night, before the cock crows, you will deny Me three times.” (Matthew 26:34)
Peter, filled with courage and devotion, answered boldly:
“Even if I must die with You, I will never deny You.”
Yet history would unfold exactly as foretold.
Mark’s Gospel adds a crucial detail:
“Before the cock crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” (Mark 14:30)
This phrase, “cock crow,” was more than a bird’s cry. It carried meaning — a signal in the rhythm of the night, a marker of time and duty.
The Meaning of “Keriath HaGeber”
In Hebrew, it is Keriath HaGeber — literally, “the call of the man.”
During the Second Temple period, nights were divided into watches. One of these was known as qeri’at ha-gever, which could mean the trumpet of a watchman… or the crowing of the rooster.
To the people of Yeshua’s time, it meant both: a measure of time, and a call to action.
The Watches of the Night
The night stretched from sunset to sunrise, divided into periods of vigilance and worship.
In ancient Israel:
First Watch: 6 PM – 10 PM
Middle Watch: 10 PM – 2 AM
Morning Watch: 2 AM – 6 AM
Under Roman rule:
Evening Watch: 6 PM – 9 PM
Midnight Watch: 9 PM – 12 AM
Cockcrowing Watch: 12 AM – 3 AM
Morning Watch: 3 AM – 6 AM
It was during this Cockcrowing Watch — in the depth of the night — that Peter’s faith would face its greatest test.
More Than a Rooster’s Cry
In the Temple, sacred work began long before sunrise. The altar was cleared of ashes at the Geber’s call, often just after midnight.
Ancient writings tell of Gabini the Herald, whose voice carried across valleys. His cry was not for birds, but for men:
“Rise, priests, to your service.
Levites, to your chanting.
Israel, to your standing.”
At the first crow, priests purified the Temple. Levites prepared the songs of worship. And the people stirred — ready to serve.
The cock’s crow was never random. It marked time, duty, and divine order.
The Night of Denial
Some roosters crowed shortly after midnight; others crowed again closer to 3 AM. This explains why Mark refers to a second crowing.
As the second crow pierced the darkness, Peter remembered the words of Yeshua:
“Before the cock crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
And he wept bitterly, a man confronted with fear, failure, and prophecy fulfilled.
