"I tell you," replied Jesus, "that this very night, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times!"
"I tell you," answered Jesus, "that you yourself today--yes, this very night--before the cock crows twice, will disown me three times."
But Peter denied it. "I do not know or understand what you mean," he replied. Then he went out into the porch;
"I tell you, Peter," replied Jesus, "the cock will not crow to-day till you have disowned all knowledge of me three times."
But Peter denied it. "I do not know him," he replied.
"Will you lay down your life for me?" replied Jesus. "In truth I tell you, the cock will not crow till you have disowned me three times.
