²⁹ And Peter said to him, `And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;'

³³ And Peter answering said to him, `Even if all shall be stumbled at thee, I will never be stumbled.'

³⁴ Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that, this night, before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me.'

³⁵ Peter saith to him, `Even if it may be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee;' in like manner also said all the disciples.

³³ And he said to him, `Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;'

³⁴ and he said, `I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.'

³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'

³⁷ Peter saith to him, `Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

³⁸ Jesus answered him, `Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'

¹⁵ When, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, `Simon, `son' of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Feed my lambs.'
