Jesus said unto him,
Verily I say unto you, That this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny me three times.
All Commentaries on Matthew 26:34 Go To Matthew 26
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Before the cock crow. St. Mark is more particular; before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. The sense seems to be, before the time that the cocks crow the second time, towards the morning. (Witham) Christ's prayer and agony in the garden. He is seized, and carried before Annas and Caiphas.
