Mark 14:26-31

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Peter’s Denial Foretold

²⁶ When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. ²⁷ And Jesus said to them, ‘You will all become deserters; for it is written,

²⁸ But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.’ ²⁹ Peter said to him, ‘Even though all become deserters, I will not.’ ³⁰ Jesus said to him, ‘Truly I tell you, this day, this very night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times.’ ³¹ But he said vehemently, ‘Even though I must die with you, I will not deny you.’ And all of them said the same.
