29 But Peter said to Him, “Even though all may fall away, yet I will
not.” 30 And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, that this very night,
before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.” 31 But Peter kept saying insistently, “Even if I have to die with You, I will
not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing also.
MARK 14:29-31 (NASB)
66 As Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-girls
of the high priest came, 67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”
68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what
you are talking about.” And he went out onto the porch.

3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him,
“We will also come with you.”JOHN 21:3 (NASB)
6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you
will find a catch.” So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in
because of the great number of fish. 7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved *said to Peter, “It is the
Lord.” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer
garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea.
JOHN 21:6-7 (NASB)
JESUSwill always go out of his

disappointment to gladness, to change your

12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” N
one of the disciples ventured to question Him, “Who are You?”
knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish
likewise. 14 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the
disciples, after He was raised from the dead.
JOHN 21:12-14 (NASB)

Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Tend
My lambs.”JOHN 21:15 (NASB)
16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You
know that I love You.” He said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.”
JOHN 21:16 (NASB)
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do
you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all
things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Tend My
sheep.JOHN 21:17 (NASB)
