Matthew 26:31-35
New English Translation
The Prediction of Peter’s Denial
31 Then Jesus said to them, “This night you will all fall away because of me, for it is written:
‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’[a]
32 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.” 33 Peter[b] said to him, “If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!” 34 Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth,[c] on this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you.” And all the disciples said the same thing.

32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(D)
