Matthew 26:30-34

30 And when they had sung an hymn,^[a] they went out into the mount of Olives.

31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me* this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended^[b] because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this* night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
