WE LOSE FAITH BUT JESUS STILL LOVES US

 

Mark 14:27-31 ICB

27 Then Jesus told the followers, “You will all lose your faith in me. It is written in the Scriptures:

‘I will kill the shepherd,
   and the sheep will scatter.’ Zechariah 13:7

28 But after I rise from death, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

29 Peter said, “All the other followers may lose their faith. But I will not.”

30 Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth. Tonight you will say you don’t know me. You will say this three times before the rooster crows twice.”

31 But Peter answered strongly, “I will never say that I don’t know you! I will even die with you!” And all the other followers said the same thing.

 

Mark 14:66-72 ICB

66 Peter was still in the courtyard when a servant girl of the high priest came there. 67 She saw Peter warming himself at the fire. She looked closely at him.

Then the girl said, “You were with Jesus, that man from Nazareth.”

68 But Peter said that he was never with Jesus. He said, “I don’t know or understand what you are talking about.” Then Peter left and went toward the entrance of the courtyard.

69 The servant girl saw Peter there. Again she said to the people who were standing there, “This man is one of those who followed Jesus.” 70 Again Peter said that it was not true.

A short time later, some people were standing near Peter. They said, “We know you are one of those who followed Jesus. You are from Galilee, too.”

71 Then Peter began to curse. He said, “I swear that I don’t know this man you’re talking about!”

72 As soon as Peter said this, the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had told him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” Then Peter was very sad and began to cry.
