Mark 14:27-31 Part 2 of 2

    "You will all fall away," Jesus told them, "for it is written: 

    " 'I will strike the shepherd,

    and the sheep will be scattered.'  (Zechariah 13:7)

But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."

    Peter declared, "Even if all fall away, I will not."

    "Truly I tell you, "Jesus answered, "today--yes, tonight--before the rooster crows twice you yourself will disown me three times."

    But Peter insisted emphatically, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the others said the same.

Mark 14:71-72  

    He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, "I don't know this man you're talking about."

    Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows twice you will disown me three times." And he broke down and wept.
