1 John 13:38 “Will you lay down your life for Me?” Jesus replied. “Truly, truly, I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.
2 Luke 22:34 But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”
3 Matthew 26:75 Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
4 Mark 14:30–31 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.

Matthew 26:34 Summary

In Matthew 26:34, Jesus tells Peter that he will deny Him three times before the rooster crows, which shows that even the strongest followers of Jesus can fail. But Jesus doesn't condemn Peter, instead, He warns him to prepare him for what's to come (as seen in Matthew 26:34). This reminds us that we all have weaknesses and can stumble, but God is always ready to forgive and restore us, just like He did with Peter (as seen in John 21:15-17). We can learn from Peter's mistake by being humble and seeking God's help in our own struggles, and by remembering that Jesus knows our hearts and loves us anyway (as seen in Psalm 103:14).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Jesus predict Peter's denial?

Jesus predicted Peter's denial to show that even the strongest disciples can fail, but also to demonstrate His knowledge of future events, as seen in Matthew 26:34, and to ultimately fulfill the Scriptures, such as Zechariah 13:7.

What is the significance of the rooster crowing in this verse?

The rooster crowing serves as a timeline marker for Peter's denial, emphasizing that it will occur before the night is over, as stated in Matthew 26:34, and also referencing the prophecy in Zechariah 13:7 and the fulfillment in Matthew 26:74-75.

Did Jesus condemn Peter for his future denial?

No, Jesus did not condemn Peter, but rather lovingly warned him of his upcoming failure, as seen in Matthew 26:34, to prepare him for the events that would unfold, and later restored him after his denial, as seen in John 21:15-17.

How can we apply Jesus' words to our own lives?

We can apply Jesus' words by recognizing our own weaknesses and vulnerabilities, just like Peter, and seeking God's strength and forgiveness, as encouraged in Psalm 51:17 and 1 John 1:9.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some areas in my life where I may be tempted to deny Jesus, and how can I prepare myself to stand firm in my faith?
  2. How can I balance confidence in my faith with humility, recognizing that I, like Peter, can stumble and fall?
  3. What does Jesus' prediction of Peter's denial reveal about His character, and how can I apply that to my own relationships and interactions with others?
  4. In what ways can I, like Peter, be restored and redeemed after failing or denying Jesus, and how can I extend that same grace to others?

See Poole on "".

Trapp's Commentary on Matthew 26:34

34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Ver. 34. Before the cock crow, &c.] Christ mentioneth the cock, quia tam strenuum pugnatorem decebat tale praeconium, saith one. The presumption of proud flesh never but miscarries; when humble self-suspicion holds out, and hath favour. The story of Pendleton and Saunders is better known than that it needs here to be related. (Acts and Mon.)

Ellicott's Commentary on Matthew 26:34

(34) Thou shalt deny me thrice.—The agreement of all the four Evangelists places the fact of the prediction beyond the shadow of a doubt, and the prevision which it implies is obviously more than a general insight into the instability of the disciple’s character, and involves a power essentially superhuman. We must not forget what the disciple could not fail to remember, that to the sin thus foretold was attached the penalty, that he who was guilty of it should be “denied before the angels of God” (Luke 12:9). That was the law of retribution, but as with all such laws, the penalty might be averted by repentance.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Matthew 26:34

Verse 34. Jesus said] Our Lord's answer to Peter is very emphatic and impressive. Verily - I speak a solemn weighty truth, thou wilt not only be stumbled, fall off, and forsake thy Master, but thou wilt even deny that thou hast, or ever had, any knowledge of or connection with me; and this thou wilt do, not by little and little, through a long process of time, till the apostasy, daily gathering strength, shall be complete; but thou wilt do it this very night, and that not once only, but thrice; and this thou wilt do also in the earlier part of the night, before even a cock shall crow. Was not this warning enough to him not to trust in his own strength, but to depend on God?

Cambridge Bible on Matthew 26:34

34. before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice] “This day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice” (Mark). A curious difficulty has been raised here from the fact that it was unlawful for Jews to keep fowls in the Holy City. Such rules, however, could not be applied to the Romans.
