Mark 14:27-31
New English Translation
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.
