καὶ ἐμνήσθη : The cock crowing caused a sudden revulsion of feeling, and flashed in on Peter's mind the light of a vivid recollection: the word his Master had spoken. πρὶν, etc., repeated as in Matthew 26:34. ἐξελθὼν, going out, neither in fear of apprehension (Chrys., Euthy.) nor from shame (Orig., Jer.), but that he might give free rein to penitent feeling. ἔκλαυσεν, wept loudly, as distinct from δακρύειν (John 11:35), to shed tears.
