Luke 22:31–34

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

(Matt 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; John 13:36–38)

31 “Simon, Simon! Listen! Satan has received permission to test all of you, to separate the good from the bad, as a farmer separates the wheat from the chaff. 32But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you turn back to me, you must strengthen your brothers.”

33 Peter answered, “Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you and to die with you!”

34 “I tell you, Peter,” Jesus said, “the cock will not crow tonight until you have said three times that you do not know me.”
