Matthew 26:31-35 - Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial

³¹ Then said Jesus to them, All of you will be turned away from me this night: for it is said in the Writings, I will put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep of the flock will be put to flight.

³² But after I am come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.

³³ But Peter made answer and said to him, Though all may be turned away from you, I will never be turned away.

³⁴ Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

³⁵ Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples.

²⁷ And Jesus said to them, You will all be turned away from me: for it is in the Writings, I will put the keeper of the sheep to death, and the sheep will be put to flight.

²⁸ But after I have come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.

²⁹ But Peter said to him, Though the others may be turned away from you, I will not.

³⁰ And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that you, today, even this night, before the cock's second cry, will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

³¹ But he said with passion, If I have to be put to death with you, I will not be false to you. And they all said the same.

³¹ Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested: ³² But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.

³³ And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.

³⁴ And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

³¹ Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him. ³² If God is given glory in him, God will give him glory in himself, and will give him glory even now.

³³ My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

³⁴ I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another. ³⁵ By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

³⁶ Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.

³⁷ Peter said to him, Why may I not come with you even now? I will give up my life for you.

³⁸ Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.
