Luke 22:31–38

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial—Matthew 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; John 13:36–38

³¹⸤Then the Lord said,⸥ “Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded to have you apostles for himself. He wants to separate you from me as a farmer separates wheat from husks. ³²But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. So when you recover, strengthen the other disciples.” 

³³But Peter said to him, “Lord, I’m ready to go to prison with you and to die with you.” 

³⁴Jesus replied, “Peter, I can guarantee that the rooster won’t crow tonight until you say three times that you don’t know me.” 

³⁵Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you out without a wallet, traveling bag, or sandals, you didn’t lack anything, did you?” 

“Not a thing!” they answered. 

³⁶Then he said to them, “But now, the person who has a wallet and a traveling bag should take them along. The person who doesn’t have a sword should sell his coat and buy one. ³⁷I can guarantee that the Scripture passage which says, ‘He was counted with criminals,’ must find its fulfillment in me. Indeed, whatever is written about me will come true.” 

³⁸The disciples said, “Lord, look! Here are two swords!” 

Then Jesus said to them, “That’s enough!”
