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.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
31 On the way, Jesus told them, “Tonight all of you will desert me. For the Scriptures say,
‘God will strike[a] the Shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 But after I have been raised from the dead, I will go ahead of you to Galilee and meet you there.”
33 Peter declared, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I will never desert you.”
34 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, Peter—this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.”
35 “No!” Peter insisted. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the other disciples vowed the same.
