(Lesson 5197)(04-28-26) 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 told his apostles that they would all be angered because of him that night as it was prophesied that the shepherd would be smitten and the sheep scattered, yet he promised to go before them into Galilee after his resurrection, that led Peter to brag that he would never turn his back on Jesus, to which Jesus replied that Peter would deny him three times before the rooster crowed that very night. ~
