Context of Mark 14:30
28But after I am raised from the dead, I will go ahead of you to Galilee and meet you there.” 29Peter said to him, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I never will.” Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, Peter—this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny three times that you even know me.” 31“No!” Peter declared emphatically. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the others vowed the same. 32They went to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and Jesus said, “Sit here while I go and pray.”
