Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You.”

and said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” And Jesus *said to them, “Yes; have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself’?”

Jesus *said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,
‘The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone;
This came about from the Lord,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?

But Peter said to Him, “Even though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away.”
