Matthew 26:30-35

Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

30 ¹And when they had sung a hymn, ²they went out to ³the Mount of Olives.

31 Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will ⁴strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered. ’

32 But after I am raised up, ⁵I will go before you to Galilee. ”

33 ⁶Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away. ”

34 ⁷Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, ⁸before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times. ”

35 ⁹Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you! ” And all the disciples said the same.
