Matthew 26:31-35

International Children’s Bible

Jesus’ Followers Will All Leave Him

³¹ Jesus told the followers, “Tonight you will lose your faith because of me. It is written in the Scriptures:

³² But after I rise from death, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

³³ Peter said, “All the other followers may lose their faith because of you. But I will never lose my faith.”

³⁴ Jesus said, “I tell you the truth. Tonight you will say you don’t know me. You will say this three times before the rooster crows.”

³⁵ But Peter said, “I will never say that I don’t know you! I will even die with you!” And all the other followers said the same thing.
