27 Then Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) continued his teaching, “All of you will stumble because it’s written in the scriptures: ‘I’ll strike down the shepherd and the sheep will get scattered.’[ref] 28 But after I come back to life, I’ll go on ahead of you all back to Galil.”[ref]

29 But Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros) contradicted him, “Even if everyone else stumbles, I won’t!”

30 “I can assure you,” Yeshua responded, “that you’ll renounce me three times this very night, before the rooster crows early tomorrow morning.”

31 But Kefa argued forcibly, “Even if I had to die with you, I would never disown you!”

And all the others said similar things.

36 Now Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros) followed-up, “Master, where are you going?”

“Where I’m going,” Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) answered, “you won’t be able to follow me at this stage, but you will follow me eventually.”

37 Kefa asked again, “Why can’t I follow after you now? I’m prepared to give my life for you.”

38 “You think you’ll be giving your life for me?” Yeshua responded. “I can assure you that the rooster won’t crow until you’ve already disowned knowing me three times.”

31 Then Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) told them, “All of you will flounder tonight concerning me, because it’s been written, ‘I’ll strike the shepherd and the flock will be scattered.’[ref] 32 But after I come back to life, I’ll go to Galil ahead of you apprentices.”[ref]

33 “Even if all the others flounder,” answered Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros), “I won’t.”

34 “I can assure you,” responded Yeshua, “that you’ll disown me three times tonight before the rooster crows in the morning.”

35 “Even if I have to die with you,” said Kefa, “I’d certainly never disown you,” and all the other apprentices said likewise.

31 “Shim’on (Simon), Shim’on, Satan has requested to sift you all like wheat grains, 32 but I interceded for you that your faith wouldn’t fail and that once you turn back again, you’ll strengthen your brothers.”

33 “Master,” Shim’on responded, “I’m prepared to go to prison with you, or even to die.”

34 “I can tell you, Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros),” replied Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus), “that the rooster certainly won’t crow today until you’ve gone and three times denied even knowing me.”
