Matthew 26:31-33
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Peter’s Denial Foretold. 31 (A)Then Jesus said to them, “This night all of you will have your faith in me shaken,[a] for it is written:(B)
‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock will be dispersed’;
32 but after I have been raised up, I shall go before you to Galilee.” 33 Peter said to him in reply, “Though all may have their faith in you shaken, mine will never be.”
