^33 (A) My children, I will be with you for only a little while longer. Then you will look for me, but you won't find me. I tell you just as I told the people, “You cannot go where I am going.”

Peter's Promise

(Matthew 26.31-35; Mark 14.27-31; Luke 22.31-34)

³⁶ Simon Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?”

Jesus answered, “You can't go with me now, but later on you will.”

³⁷ Peter asked, “Lord, why can't I go with you now? I would die for you!”

³⁸ “Would you really die for me?” Jesus asked. “I tell you for certain before a rooster crows, you will say three times that you don't even know me.”
