Peter » His treachery foretold by jesus, and his profession of fidelity
"If they all stumble and fall away from you," answered Peter, "I will never do so!" Jesus said to him, "In solemn truth I tell you that on this very night, before cockcrow, you will deny me three times!" But Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you." And so said all the disciples.
Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" "Where I am going," answered Jesus, "you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow me later." "Why cannot I follow you now, Master?" said Peter. "I will lay down my life for you." Jesus answered him. "Your life you will lay down for me? In solemn truth I tell you, the cock shall not crow before you have three times disowned me."
"Although they all stumble and fall, yet will not I," answered Peter. Jesus said to him, "I tell you in solemn truth that you yourself, today on this very night, before the cock crow twice, shall three times disown me." But Peter kept protesting passionately, "Though I must die with you, I will not disown you!" And they all kept saying the same.
"Simon, Simon," said the Lord, "behold, Satan has asked to have you all that he might sift you like wheat. "But I made supplication for you that your own faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned again, must strengthen your brothers." "Lord," Simon said to him, "I am ready to go with you, both to prison and to death." read more.
