²⁸ Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life.

³ For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.^(A)

Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

³⁶ Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterward.”^{(A) 37} Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”^{(B) 38} Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Very truly, I tell you, before the cock crows, you will have denied me three times.

³³ Peter said to him, “Even if all fall away^[a] because of you, I will never fall away.”^{[b] 34} Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, this very night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.”^{(A) 35} Peter said to him, “Even though I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And so said all the disciples.^(B)

⁴⁹ When those who were around him saw what was coming, they asked, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?”^{(A) 50} Then one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

³¹ “Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded^[a] to sift all of you like wheat,^{(A) 32} but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not fail, and you, when once you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”^{(B) 33} And he said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death!” ³⁴ Jesus^[b] said, “I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow this day until you have denied three times that you know me.”

³¹ But he said vehemently, “Even though I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And all of them said the same.

²⁷ Then Peter said in reply, “Look, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”^(A)
