and whoever will disown me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.

Jesus said to him, "I tell you truly, you will disown me three times this very night, before the cock crows."

Peter said to him, "Even though I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the disciples said the same thing.

Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said, that 'before the cock crows you will disown me three times.' And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Jesus said to him, "I tell you truly, to-day you will disown me three times, this very night, before the cock crows twice."

But he persisted, "Though I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And they all said the same.

At that moment the cock crowed for the second time. Then Peter remembered how Jesus had told him, "Before the cock crows twice you will disown me thrice;" and he burst into tears.

the Lord turned round and looked at Peter, and then Peter remembered what the Lord had told him, that 'Before cock-crow to-day you will disown me three times.'

I disown those practices which very shame conceals from view; I do not go about it craftily; I do not falsify the word of God; I state the truth openly and so commend myself to every man's conscience before God.

He has granted us complete insight and understanding of the open secret of his will, showing us how it was the purpose of his design

so to order it in the fulness of the ages that all things in heaven and earth alike should be gathered up in Christ ??11 in the Christ in whom we have had our heritage allotted us (as was decreed in the design of him who carries out everything according to the counsel of his will),

if we endure, then we shall reign with him, if we disown him, then he shall disown us,

for certain persons have slipped in by stealth (their doom has been predicted long ago), impious creatures who pervert the grace of our God into immorality and disown our sole liege and Lord, Jesus Christ.
