Matthew 26:31-35

Peter's Denial Predicted

31 Then Jesus said to them, "Tonight all of you will run away ^[a] because of Me, for it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered. ^[b]

32 But after I have been resurrected, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."

33 Peter told Him, "Even if everyone runs away because of You, I will never run away!"

34 "I assure you," Jesus said to him, "tonight-before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times!"

35 "Even if I have to die with You," Peter told Him, "I will never deny You!" And all the disciples said the same thing.
