Matthew 26:30-35 - Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went to the mount of Olives.

31 then said Jesus to them, I shall be the occasion of your revolting all from me this night: for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered."

32 but after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

33 Peter thereupon said, tho' all the rest should abandon you, I never will.

34 Jesus replied, I tell you for certain, that this night before the time of cock-crowing, thou shalt abjure me thrice.

35 but Peter said, though it should cost me my life, I never will disown you. and so said all the disciples.
