14:27 Then 1 Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written,
‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered.’ 2
14:28 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.” 14:29 Peter said to him, “Even if they all fall away, I will not!” 14:30 Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth, 3 today – this very night – before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” 14:31 But Peter 4 insisted emphatically, 5 “Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you.” And all of them said the same thing.
