Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

Matthew 26

30 d And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 31 Then Jesus said to them, e "All of you will f be 1 made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:
g 'I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.' 2
32 "But after I have been raised, h I will go before you to Galilee." 33 Peter answered and said to Him, "Even if all are 3 made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble." 34 Jesus said to him, i "Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." 35 Peter said to Him, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And so said all the disciples.
