doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself;

Peter saith to him, 'Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

Jesus answered him, 'Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'
