John 13:36-38

J.B. Phillips New Testament

³⁶ Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” “I am going,” replied Jesus, “where you cannot follow now, though you will follow me later.”

³⁷ “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? said Peter. “I would lay down my life for you!”

³⁸ “Would you lay down your life for me?” replied Jesus. “Believe me, you will disown me three times before the cock crows!”
