Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial^(A)

^31 [a]And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, ^(B)Satan has asked for you, that he may ^(C)sift you as wheat. ³² But ^(D)I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, ^(E)strengthen your brethren.”

^10 (A)Have You not ^[a]made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? ^(B)You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. ^11 (C)But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely ^(D)curse^[b] You to Your face!”

¹² And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your ^[c]power; only do not lay a hand on his person.”

So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.

^5 (A)But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his ^(B)bone and his flesh, and he will surely ^[a]curse You to Your face!”
