Mark 14:27-31

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

27 Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, ^[a] for it is written: ¹ ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ ^[b]

28 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

29 Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”

30 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

31 But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.
