Mark 14:27-31

Peter's Denial Predicted

27 Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will run away, ^{[a] [b]} because it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered. ^[c]

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

29 Peter told Him, "Even if everyone runs away, I will certainly not!"

30 "I assure you," Jesus said to him, "today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times!"

31 But he kept insisting, "If I have to die with You, I will never deny You!" And they all said the same thing.
