Mark 14:26-31

26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.


Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

27 “You will all fall away,” Jesus told them, “for it is written:

“‘I will strike the shepherd,

    and the sheep will be scattered.’[a]

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

29 Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I will not.”

30 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice[b] you yourself will disown me three times.”

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

This is what God the Lord says— the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out,     who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it,     who gives breath to its people,     and life to those who walk on it: 6  “I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;     I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you     to be a covenant for the people     and a light for the Gentiles, 7  to open eyes that are blind,     to free captives from prison     and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. 8  “I am the Lord; that is my name!     I will not yield my glory to another     or my praise to idols. 9  See, the former things have taken place,     and new things I declare; before they spring into being     I announce them to you.”

And now the Lord says—     he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him     and gather Israel to himself, for I am[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah+49%3a5-6&version=niv#fen-niv-18642a] honored in the eyes of the Lord     and my God has been my strength— 6  he says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant     to restore the tribes of Jacob     and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles,     that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;     therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice.     Blessed are all who wait for him! 19 People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. 20 Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. 21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
