(Lesson 4174)(06-26-23) Matthew 26:31-35
“ Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.”
In today’s quote, Jesus informed His apostles that before the night was over, He would be betrayed to the Jews and taken prisoner.
This is the lesson wherein Peter made the erroneous brag that he would never deny Jesus only to deny Him three times before the rooster crowed in the morning.~
