‘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 But Peter answered and[b] said to him, “If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!” 34 Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that during this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times!” 35 Peter said to him, “Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the disciples said the same thing.
