Peter’s Denial Foretold

Matthew 26

Matthew 26:30 And after a hymn was sung, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Matthew 26:31 Then Jesus said to them: “You will all fall away from me in this night. For it has been written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

Matthew 26:32 But after I have risen again, I will go before you to Galilee.”

Matthew 26:33 Then Peter responded by saying to him, “Even if everyone else has fallen away from you, I will never fall away.”

Matthew 26:34 Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to you, that in this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”

Matthew 26:35 Peter said to him, “Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will not deny you.” And all the disciples spoke similarly.
