Mark 14:27-31

Contemporary English Version

²⁷^(A) Jesus said to his disciples, “All of you will reject me, as the Scriptures say,

‘I will strike down
the shepherd,
and the sheep
will be scattered.’

²⁸^(B) But after I am raised to life, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”

²⁹Peter spoke up, “Even if all the others reject you, I never will!”

³⁰Jesus replied, “This very night before a rooster crows twice, you will say three times that you don't know me.”

³¹But Peter was so sure of himself that he said, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never say I don't know you!”

All the others said the same thing.
