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.”

[22:33]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:33]  ² sn The confidence Peter has in private (Lord, I am ready…) will wilt under the pressure of the public eye.

[22:34]  ³ tn Grk “he said”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:34]  ⁴ sn That is, Peter’s denials will happen before the sun rises.

[22:34]  ⁵ sn Once again, Jesus is quite aware that Peter will deny him. Peter, however, is too nonchalant about the possibility of stumbling.
