Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

31 “Simon, Simon, behold, (A)Satan demanded to have you,[a] (B)that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but (C)I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, (D)strengthen your brothers.” 33 Peter[b] said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both (E)to prison and (F)to death.” 34 (G)Jesus[c] said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”

Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus

35 And he said to them, (H)“When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that (I)this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: (J)‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For (K)what is written about me has its fulfillment.” 38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two (L)swords.” And he said to them, (M)“It is enough.”

Words of the Wise

17 (A)Incline your ear, and hear (B)the words of the wise,
    (C)and apply your heart to my knowledge,
18 for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
    if all of them are ready on your lips.
19 That your trust may be in the Lord,
    I have made them known to you today, even to you.
20 Have I not written for you (D)thirty sayings
    of counsel and knowledge,
21 to (E)make you know what is right and true,
    that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?

22 (F)Do not rob the poor, because he is poor,
    or (G)crush the afflicted at (H)the gate,
23 for (I)the Lord will plead their cause
    and rob of life those who rob them.
24 Make no friendship with a man given to anger,
    nor go with a wrathful man,
25 lest you learn his ways
    and entangle yourself in a snare.
26 Be not one of those who (J)give pledges,
    who put up security for debts.
27 If you have nothing with which to pay,
    why should (K)your bed be taken from under you?
28 Do not move the ancient (L)landmark
    that your fathers have set.
29 Do you see a man skillful in his work?
    He will (M)stand before kings;
    he will not stand before obscure men.
