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

³¹ Then, Jesus saith unto them - All ye, will find cause of stumbling in me, during this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and, the sheep of the flock, will be scattered abroad;

³² But, after my arising, I will go before you into Galilee.

³³ Now Peter, answering, said unto him - Though, all, shall find cause of stumbling in thee, I, shall never find cause of stumbling.

³⁴ Jesus saith unto him: Verily, I say unto thee - During this night, before a cock crow, Thrice, wilt thou deny me.

³⁵ Peter saith unto him: Even though it be needful for me, with thee to die, in nowise, will I deny thee. Likewise, all the disciples also, said.

²⁷ And Jesus saith unto them - Ye, all, will find cause of stumbling, because it is written, - I will smite the shepherd, and, the sheep, will be scattered abroad;

²⁹ And, Peter, said unto him - Even if, all, shall find cause of stumbling, certainly not, I.

³⁰ And Jesus saith unto him - Verily, I say unto thee, thou, this day, in this night, before that twice a cock crow, thrice, will deny me.

³¹ But he, most vehemently, was saying - Even though I must needs die with thee, in nowise, will I, deny thee. Likewise, indeed, were, all besides, saying.

³¹ Simon! Simon! lo! Satan, hath claimed you, to sift as wheat; ³² But, I, have entreated for thee, that thy faith may not fail. And, thou, once thou hast turned, strengthen thy brethren.

³³ But, he, said unto him - Lord! with thee, am I, ready, both into prison and unto death, to be going.

³⁴ And, he, said: I tell thee, Peter - A cock will not crow this day, until, thrice, thou deny that thou knowest me.

³¹ When, therefore, he had gone out, Jesus saith - Just now, was, the Son of Man, glorified, and, God, was glorified in him; ³² And, God, will glorify him, in himself, - and, straightway, glorify him.

³³ Dear children! Yet a little, am I, with you. Ye shall seek me, and, just as I said unto the Jews, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come, unto you also, I say it, even now.

³⁴ A new commandment, give I unto you, - That ye be loving one another: Just as I loved you, that, ye also, be loving one another: ³⁵ By this, shall all men take knowledge, that, my disciples, ye are, - If ye have, love, one to another.

³⁶ Simon Peter saith unto him - Lord! whither dost thou withdraw? Jesus answered - Whither I withdraw, thou canst not, now, follow me, but thou shalt follow, hereafter.

³⁷ Peter saith unto him - Lord! why, cannot I follow thee, even now? My life, in thy behalf, will I lay down.

³⁸ Jesus answereth - Thy life, in my behalf, wilt thou lay down? Verily, verily, I say unto thee - In nowise shall a cock crow till thou hast denied me, thrice.
