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

³¹ Then said Jesus unto them, All you shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

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

³³ Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of you, yet will I never be offended.

³⁴ Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto you, That this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny me three times.

³⁵ Peter said unto him, Though I should die with you, yet will I not deny you. Likewise also said all the disciples.

²⁷ And Jesus said unto them, All you shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

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

²⁹ But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

³⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto you, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crows twice, you shall deny me three times.

³¹ But he spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with you, I will not deny you by any means. Likewise also said they all.

³¹ And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: ³² But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you have returned, strengthen your brethren.

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

³⁴ And he said, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before you shall three times deny that you know me.

³¹ Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. ³² If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall immediately glorify him.

³³ Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Where I go, you cannot come; so now I say to you.

³⁴ A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. ³⁵ By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.

³⁶ Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, where do you go? Jesus answered him, Where I go, you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow me afterwards.

³⁷ Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.

³⁸ Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto you, The cock shall not crow, till you have denied me three times.
