Lucas 22:34

34 —Pedro, te digo que hoy mismo, antes de que cante el gallo, tres veces negarás que me conoces.

Lucas 22:34 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:34

And he said
"To him", as all the Oriental versions add; to Peter, as what is said shows; that is, Jesus said to him, as the Syriac and Persic versions express:

I tell thee,
Peter; who knew him, and his heart, better than he did himself, as well as knew what was to come, and what would befall him; and therefore declares it, as he does with the greatest assurance and certainty, and which might be depended on, and accordingly came to pass:

the cock shall not crow this day;
in this night, as in ( Mark 14:30 ) or this night, as in ( Matthew 26:34 ) for it was now night; a natural day includes both night and day; a like way of speaking, see in ( Luke 2:8 Luke 2:11 )

before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me;
as he did, ( Luke 22:57 Luke 22:58 Luke 22:60 ) . (See Gill on Matthew 26:34).

Lucas 22:34 In-Context

32 Pero yo he orado por ti, para que no falle tu fe. Y tú, cuando te hayas vuelto a mí, fortalece a tus hermanos.

33 —Señor —respondió Pedro—, estoy dispuesto a ir contigo tanto a la cárcel como a la muerte.

34 —Pedro, te digo que hoy mismo, antes de que cante el gallo, tres veces negarás que me conoces.

35 Luego Jesús dijo a todos:—Cuando los envié a ustedes sin monedero ni bolsa ni sandalias, ¿acaso les faltó algo?—Nada —respondieron.

36 —Ahora, en cambio, el que tenga un monedero, que lo lleve; así mismo, el que tenga una bolsa. Y el que nada tenga, que venda su manto y compre una espada.
