JESUS PREDICTS PETER'S DENIAL

 Matthew 26: 31-35

31 The Jesus told them,

'THIS VERY NIGHT

YOU WILL ALL FALL AWAY ON ACCOUNT OF ME,

FOR IT IS WRITTEN:

'I will strike the Shepherd,

And the Sheep of the Flock

Will be Scattered.'

32 BUT AFTER I HAVE RISEN,

I WILL GO AHEAD OF YOU INTO GALILEE.'

33 Peter replied,

'EVEN IF ALL FALL AWAY ON ACCOUNT OF YOU,

I NEVER WILL.'

34 'I TELL YOUJ THE TRUTH,'

Jesus answered,

THIS VERY NIGHT, BEFORE THE ROOSTER CROWS,

YOU WILL DISOWN ME THREE TIMES.'

35 But Peter declared,

'EVEN IF I HAVE DO DIE WITH YOU,

I WILL NEVER DISOWN YOU.'

And all the other Disciples said the same.

(Matthew 26: 30-35)
