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

³¹ Then Jesus says to them, You will all be offended in me this night: for it has been written, I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.

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

³³ But Peter responding said to Him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.

³⁴ Jesus said to him, Truly I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

³⁵ And Peter says to Him, If it may be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee. Likewise also all the disciples said.

²⁷ And Jesus says to them, You will all be offended, because it has been written, I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

²⁸ But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

²⁹ And Peter said to Him, If indeed, all shall be offended, yet not I.

³⁰ And Jesus says to him, Truly I say unto thee, That thou to-day, even this night, before the cock shall crow twice, shalt deny me thrice.

³¹ And he continued to say the more positively, If it may behoove me to die with thee, I can never deny thee. And all continued to say likewise.

³¹ Simon, Simon, behold, Satan sought you out, to sift you as wheat: ³² but I prayed for you, that your faith may not fail you: and thou, when having turned, strengthen thy brethren:

³³ but he said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee to prison and to death.

³⁴ And He said; I say unto thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³¹ Then when he went out, Jesus says, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. ³² And if God is glorified in Him, God will indeed glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.

³³ Children, I am still with you. You shall seek me, and as I said to the Jews, Whither I go, you are not able to come; and now I say to you.

³⁴ I give unto a new commandment, That you must love one another with divine love; as I have loved you with divine love, that you must also love one another with divine love: ³⁵ in this shall all know that you are my disciples, if you may have divine love one with another.

³⁶ Simon Peter says to Him; Lord, whither do you go? Jesus responded, Whither I go you are not able to follow me now; but shall follow me hereafter.

³⁷ Peter says to Him; Lord, why am I not able to follow thee now? I will lay down my soul for thee.

³⁸ Jesus responds to him, Wilt thou lay down thy soul for me? Truly, truly, I say unto thee, that the cock shall not crow, until thou shalt thrice deny me.
