^26 (A)After singing a hymn, they went out to ^(B)the Mount of Olives.

^27 (C)And Jesus *said to them, “You will all ^[a]fall away, because it is written, ‘^(D)I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.’ ²⁸ But after I have been raised, ^(E)I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” ²⁹ But Peter said to Him, “Even though all may ^[b]fall away, yet I will not.” ³⁰ And Jesus *said to him, “Truly I say to you, that ^[c](F)this very night, before ^(G)a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.” ³¹ But Peter kept saying insistently, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing also.

³¹ “Simon, Simon, behold, ^(A)Satan has ^[a]demanded permission to ^(B)sift you like wheat; ³² but I ^(C)have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, ^(D)strengthen your brothers.” ^33 (E)But he said to Him, “Lord, with You I am ready to go both to prison and to death!” ³⁴ And He said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”
