Luke 22:33-34

22:33 But Peter 1  said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!” 2  22:34 Jesus replied, 3  “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow 4  today until you have denied 5  three times that you know me.”

1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 sn The confidence Peter has in private (Lord, I am ready…) will wilt under the pressure of the public eye.

3 tn Grk “he said”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 sn That is, Peter’s denials will happen before the sun rises.

5 sn Once again, Jesus is quite aware that Peter will deny him. Peter, however, is too nonchalant about the possibility of stumbling.
