Mark 14:27–31

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

(Matt 26:31–35; Luke 22:31–34; John 13:36–38)

27 *Jesus said to them, “All of you will run away and leave me, for the scripture says, ‘God will kill the shepherd, and the sheep will all be scattered.’ 28*But after I am raised to life, I will go to Galilee ahead of you.”

29 Peter answered, “I will never leave you, even though all the rest do!”

30 Jesus said to Peter, “I tell you that before the cock crows twice tonight, you will say three times that you do not know me.”

31 Peter answered even more strongly, “I will never say that, even if I have to die with you!” And all the other disciples said the same thing.
