to have you (Greek: you is plural), that he may

sift you as wheat:

But I have prayed for you (Greek: you is singular),

that your faith fail not: and when you are converted,

strengthen your brethren.

And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you,

both into prison, and to death.

And he said, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this

day, before that you shall thrice deny that you know me.

Luke 22: 31-34

Before the Cross:

From that time on began Jesus to show to his disciples,how that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things

of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed,

and be raised again the third day.

Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying,

Be it far from you, Lord: this shall not be to you.

But he turned, and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan:

you are an offence to me: foryou savor not the things

that be of God, but those that be of men.

Matthew

16: 21-23

When they therefore were come together, they

asked of him, saying, Lord, will you

And he said to them, It is not for you to know

has put in his own power.
