Mathayo 26:31-35

Kisha Isa akawaambia, “Usiku huu, ninyi nyote mtaniacha, kwa maana imeandikwa: “ ‘Nitampiga mchungaji, nao kondoo wa hilo kundi watatawanyika.’ Lakini baada ya kufufuka kwangu, nitawatangulia kwenda Galilaya.” Petro akajibu, “Hata kama wote watakuacha, kamwe mimi sitakuacha.” Isa akamjibu, “Amin, nakuambia, usiku huu, kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.” Lakini Petro akasisitiza, “Hata kama itabidi kufa pamoja nawe, sitakukana kamwe.” Nao wanafunzi wale wengine wote wakasema vivyo hivyo.
