Matthew 26:31-35

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Peter’s Denial Predicted

³¹ Then Jesus said to them, “Tonight all of you will run away^[a] because of Me, for it is written:

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

³³ Peter told Him, “Even if everyone runs away because of You, I will never run away!”

³⁴ “I assure 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.
