 But in the 33rd verse of the 26th chapter of Matthew, the scripture says that Peter said to Jesus, even though all may fall away because of you, I will never fall away. Jesus said to him, truly I'm saying to you that this very night before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times. Peter said to him, even if I have to die with you, I will not deny you. Rather boastful, is it not?
