Matthew 26:30-35
New King James Version
30 (A)And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(B)
31 Then Jesus said to them, (C)“All of you will (D)be [a]made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:
(E)‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 But after I have been raised, (F)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, (G)“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.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(B)
31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me,(C) for it is written:
32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(E)
33 Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”
34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(F)
35 But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you,(G) I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.

51 And suddenly, (A)one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, (B)for all who take the sword will [a]perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with (C)more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, (D)that it must happen thus?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the (E)Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”
Then (F)all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

51 With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword,(A) drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.(B)
52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.(C) 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?(D) 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled(E) that say it must happen in this way?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching,(F) and you did not arrest me. 56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.”(G) Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.

Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly(A)
69 (B)Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.”
70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”
71 And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 But again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the Man!”
73 And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, “Surely you also are one of them, for your (C)speech betrays you.”
74 Then (D)he began to [a]curse and [b]swear, saying, “I do not know the Man!”
Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, (E)“Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So he went out and wept bitterly.

Peter Disowns Jesus(A)
69 Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.
70 But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.
71 Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 He denied it again, with an oath: “I don’t know the man!”
73 After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”
74 Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know the man!”
Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(B) And he went outside and wept bitterly.
