Matthew 26:31-35
Modern English Version
Peter’s Denial Foretold(A)
31 Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away on account of Me this night, for it is written:
‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.’[a]
32 But after I have risen, I will go before you to Galilee.”
33 Peter answered, “Though all men will fall away on account of You, yet I will never fall away.”
34 Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
35 Peter said to Him, “Though I should die with You, yet I will not deny You.” And all the disciples spoke in this manner.

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.
