31 Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ^a‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But after I am raised up, I will ^bgo before you to Galilee.” 33 Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” 34 Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, ^cbefore the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.

Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

31 ^c“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you,¹ that he might ^dsift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And ^ewhen you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” 33 Peter² said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.” 34 Jesus³ said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”

14 This was now ^athe third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

Jesus and Peter

15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my ^blambs.” 16 He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, ^c“Tend my sheep.” 17 He said to him the ^dthird time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, ^eyou know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but ^fwhen you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” 19 (This he said ^gto show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, ^h“Follow me.”
