Peter’s Denial Predicted

31 Then Jesus said to them, “Tonight all of you will fall away because of me, for it is written:

I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.[a](A)

32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”(B)

33 Peter told him, “Even if everyone falls away because of you, I will never fall away.”

34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to him, “tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”(C)

35 “Even if I have to die with you,” Peter told him, “I will never deny you,” and all the disciples said the same thing.

Peter’s Denial Predicted

31 “Simon, Simon,[a] look out. Satan(A) has asked to sift you[b] like wheat.(B) 32 But I have prayed(C) for you[c] that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen(D) your brothers.”

33 “Lord,”(E) he told him, “I’m ready to go with you both to prison and to death.”

34 “I tell you, Peter,” he said, “the rooster will not crow today until[d] you deny three times that you know me.”

Be Ready for Trouble

“Not a thing,” they said.

36 Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one. 37 For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in me: [e] And he was counted among the lawless.[f](G) Yes, what is written about me is coming to its fulfillment.”(H)

“That is enough!” he told them.
