“Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.”
King James Version (KJV)
26:31 All ye will be offended at me - Something will happen to me, which will occasion your falling into sin by forsaking me. #Zech 13:7|.
26:32 But notwithstanding this, after I am risen I will go before you (as a shepherd before his sheep) into Galilee. Though you forsake me, I will not for this forsake you.
26:34 Before cock crowing thou wilt deny me thrice - That is, before three in the morning, the usual time of cock crowing: although one cock was heard to crow once, after Peter's first denial of his Lord.
26:35 In like manner also said all the disciples - But such was the tenderness of our Lord, that he would not aggravate their sin by making any reply.
Mt 26:33 Peter answered. With his usual rashness.
