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

Matthew 26:31-35

31 Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of me during this night, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

32 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."

33 But Peter answered [and] said to him, "If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!"

34 Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that during this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times!"

35 Peter said to him, "Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!" And all the disciples said the same [thing].

Mark 14:27-31

27 And Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away, because it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered.'

28 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."

29 But Peter said to him, "Even if they all fall away, certainly I will not!"

30 And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that today--this night--before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times!"

31 But he kept saying emphatically, "If it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!" And they all were saying the same [thing] also.

Luke 22:31-34

31 "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to sift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. And you, [when] once you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."

33 But he said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!"

34 And he said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times [that you] know me!"

John 13:31-38

31 Then, when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will glorify him immediately.

33 Children, yet a little [time] I am with you. You will seek me and just as I said to the Jews, "Where I am going you cannot come," now I say also to you.

34 "A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another--just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples--if you have love for one another."

36 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus replied, "Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later."

37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why am I not able to follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!"

38 Jesus replied, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!
