Exegesis
The main verb ernēsato {ἠρνήσατο | ēr-né-sa-to} presents the denial as a complete past event, and Petros {Πέτρος | Pét-ros} follows after the verb in a normal Greek post-verbal position, keeping the focus first on the act and then on the actor.
In context — John 18:27
So Peter denied once more, and at once a rooster crowed.
