26 When Jesus had finished saying all these things,^(B) he said to his disciples, ² “As you know, the Passover^(C) is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

³¹ Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me,^(C) for it is written:

³² But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”^(E)

³³ Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”

³⁴ “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”^(F)

³⁵ But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you,^(G) I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.
