Matthew 26:35

26:35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you.” And all the disciples said the same thing.

Matthew 26:56

26:56 But this has happened so that ¹  the scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.

Proverbs 16:18

16:18 Pride ²  goes ³  before destruction,

and a haughty spirit before a fall. ⁴ 

[26:56]  ¹ tn Grk “But so that”; the verb “has happened” is implied.

[16:18]  ² sn The two lines of this proverb are synonymous parallelism, and so there are parasynonyms. “Pride” is paired with “haughty spirit” (“spirit” being a genitive of specification); and “destruction” is matched with “a tottering, falling.”

[16:18]  ³ tn Heb “[is] before destruction.”

[16:18]  ⁴ sn Many proverbs have been written in a similar way to warn against the inevitable disintegration and downfall of pride. W. McKane records an Arabic proverb: “The nose is in the heavens, the seat is in the mire” (Proverbs [OTL], 490).
