Mark 14:31

29 Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”

30 “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.

32 Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

33 He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
