Matthew 26:31-35
English Standard Version
31 Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will (A)strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But after I am raised up, (B)I will go before you to Galilee.” 33 (C)Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” 34 (D)Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, (E)before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35 (F)Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.

New King James Version
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(A)
31 Then Jesus said to them, (B)“All of you will (C)be [a]made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:
(D)‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 But after I have been raised, (E)I will go before you to Galilee.”
33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are [b]made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.”
34 Jesus said to him, (F)“Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”
And so said all the disciples.
