Luke 22:33-34

22:33 But Peter ¹  said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!” ²  22:34 Jesus replied, ³  “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow ⁴  today until you have denied ⁵  three times that you know me.”

¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² sn The confidence Peter has in private (Lord, I am ready…) will wilt under the pressure of the public eye.

³ tn Grk “he said”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ sn That is, Peter’s denials will happen before the sun rises.

⁵ sn Once again, Jesus is quite aware that Peter will deny him. Peter, however, is too nonchalant about the possibility of stumbling.
