Matthew 26:31-35
New American Standard Bible
31 Then Jesus *said to them, “You will all [a](A)fall away because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘(B)I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be (C)scattered.’ 32 But after I have been raised, (D)I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 33 But Peter replied to Him, “Even if they all [b]fall away because of You, I will never fall away!” 34 Jesus said to him, “(E)Truly I say to you that (F)this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” 35 Peter *said to Him, “(G)Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” All the disciples said the same thing as well.

New King James Version
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.
