Jesus Predicts That His Disciples Will Deny Him

Matthew 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; Luke 22:31–38; John 13:31–38

Mt 26:31–32Then Jesus said to them, “Tonight all of you will fall because of Me, for it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32But after I have been resurrected, I will go ahead of you to Galilee. Lk 22:31–32“Simon, Simon, look out! Satan has asked to sift you like wheat. 32But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

Lk 22:33“Lord,” he told Him, “I’m ready to go with You to prison and to death!”

Jn 13:36bJesus answered, “Where I am going you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later.”

Jn 13:37“Lord,” Peter asked, “why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You!”

Jn 13:38aJesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for Me?”

Mt 26:33Peter told Him, “Even if everyone falls because of You, I will never fall!”

34“I assure you,” Jesus said to him, “tonight—[Mk 14:30btoday, this very night] before the rooster crows [Mk 14:30bbefore the rooster crows twice]—you will deny Me three times!”

Mk 14:31But he kept insisting, “If I have to die with You, I will never deny You!” And they all said the same thing.

Lk 22:35aHe also said to them, “When I sent you out without money-bag, backpack, or sandals, did you lack anything?”

35b“Not a thing,” they said.

36Then He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a backpack. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one. 37For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was counted among the outlaws.’ Yes, what is written about Me is coming to its fulfillment.”

38a“Lord,” they said, “look, here are two swords.”

38b“Enough of that!” He told them.[1]

Watch Jesus' Upper Room Teaching on @YouVersion.: The disciples argue about who is the greatest among them. Jesus says the greatest must be like the youngest and the leader like the servant. God allows Satan to test people, to separate the good from the bad. Jesus predicts Peter will deny him.
