Matthew

Matthew 26:31–35

31Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written:

‘I will strike the Shepherd,

and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’f

32But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

33Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

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

35Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.
