Context of Luke 22:34

32But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 33And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. 35And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 36Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

On Peter's denial, see the notes on Matthew 26:31-35; (note).Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 21-38Verses 21-38 How unbecoming is the worldly ambition of being the greatest, to the character of a follower of Jesus, who took upon him the form of a servant, and humbled himself to the death of the cross!

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 34On Thursday evening, Jesus said that Peter would deny him before the rooster crows tomorrow morning (literally a rooster will not crow today until). This does not contradict Mark’s account: "this very night, before the rooster crows twice" (Mark 14:30). The Gospels of Luke and Matthew provide a more general account, and in Jewish tradition, the next day begins at sunset.Read the comment
