Peter » His treachery foretold by jesus, and his profession of fidelity
Peter thereupon said, tho' all the rest should abandon you, I never will. Jesus replied, I tell you for certain, that this night before the time of cock-crowing, thou shalt abjure me thrice. but Peter said, though it should cost me my life, I never will disown you. and so said all the disciples.
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered him, you cannot at present follow me, where I am going; but hereafter you shall. Peter said to him, Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake. Jesus answered him, you lay down your life for my sake! Verily, verily I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
upon which Peter said to him, tho' all should stagger, yet I will not. Jesus said to him, verily I tell thee, to-day, even this night, before the cock crow twice, you will renounce me thrice. but he urg'd it with more vehemence, tho' I should die with you, I will not renounce you. and all the rest affirm'd the same.
Then said Jesus, Simon, Simon, satan has demanded to shake you, and my disciples, like wheat in a sieve. but as for thee, I have pray'd that you faith may not fail. do you in return establish thy brethren. Peter answer'd, Lord, I am ready to accompany you both to prison, and to death. read more.
