Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

³⁰^(A)And when they had sung a hymn, ^(B)they went out to ^(C)the Mount of Olives. ³¹Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will ^(D)strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ ³²But after I am raised up, ^(E)I will go before you to Galilee.” ³³^(F)Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” ³⁴^(G)Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, ^(H)before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” ³⁵^(I)Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.

English Standard Version

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, ^(A)“Friend, ^(B)do what you came to do.”^[a] Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. ⁵¹And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his ^(C)sword and struck the servant^[b] of the high priest and cut off his ear. ⁵²Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For ^(D)all who take the sword will perish by the sword. ⁵³^(E)Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me ^(F)more than twelve ^(G)legions of angels? ⁵⁴^(H)But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” ⁵⁵At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day ^(I)I sat in the temple ^(J)teaching, and you did not seize me. ⁵⁶But ^(K)all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” ^(L)Then all the disciples left him and fled.
