27 (A)And Jesus *said to them, “You will all [a]fall away, because it is written, ‘(B)I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.’ 28 But after I have been raised, (C)I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 29 But Peter said to Him, “Even though all may [b]fall away, yet I will not.” 30 And Jesus *said to him, “Truly I say to you, that (D)today, this very night, before (E)a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.” 31 But Peter kept saying insistently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing also.

The Prediction of Peter’s Denial
27 Then[a] Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written,
‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered.’[b]
28 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.” 29 Peter said to him, “Even if they all fall away, I will not!” 30 Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth,[c] today—this very night—before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” 31 But Peter[d] insisted emphatically,[e] “Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you.” And all of them said the same thing.
