It is a common expression in the Gospels, often introducing a significant or prophetic statement. The use of "truly" underscores the truthfulness and authority of Jesus' words, reflecting His role as a prophet and the Son of God.Jesus replied, This indicates a response to Peter's earlier declaration of unwavering loyalty (<a href="/mark/14-29.htm">Mark 14:29</a>). Jesus' reply is not just a prediction but a revelation of Peter's forthcoming actions, highlighting Jesus' omniscience. It also sets the stage for the fulfillment of prophecy and the unfolding of events leading to the crucifixion.“this very night, The specificity of "this very night" emphasizes the immediacy and urgency of the prophecy. It situates the event within the context of the Last Supper and the events leading to Jesus' arrest. The night is significant as it represents a time of trial and testing for Jesus and His disciples.before the rooster crows twice, The mention of the rooster crowing is a time marker, indicating the early morning hours. Roosters typically crow at dawn, and the reference to it crowing twice adds precision to the prophecy. This detail underscores the accuracy of Jesus' foreknowledge. In the cultural context, the rooster's crow was a common signal for the beginning of a new day, symbolizing a transition from darkness to light.you will deny Me three times.” The prediction of Peter's denial is a poignant moment, highlighting human weakness and the fulfillment of Jesus' words. The number three is often symbolic in Scripture, representing completeness or emphasis. Peter's threefold denial contrasts with his earlier threefold affirmation of loyalty. This prophecy is fulfilled later in the chapter (<a href="/mark/14-66.htm">Mark 14:66-72</a>), demonstrating the reliability of Jesus' words and serving as a lesson in humility and repentance. The denial also foreshadows Peter's eventual restoration and leadership in the early church, illustrating themes of forgiveness and redemption.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> The central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who is foretelling Peter's denial. 2. <a href="/topical/p/peter.htm">Peter</a> One of Jesus' closest disciples, known for his impulsive nature and strong declarations of loyalty to Jesus. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_rooster.htm">The Rooster</a> Symbolic in this context, representing the time of night and the fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_denial.htm">The Denial</a> The event where Peter, despite his earlier protestations of loyalty, denies knowing Jesus three times. 5. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The city where these events take place, during the time of Jesus' arrest and trial.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_reality_of_human_weakness.htm">The Reality of Human Weakness</a> Even the most devoted followers of Christ can falter.

The day had begun. It began at six in the evening. It was already advanced. This second crowing of the cock is mentioned by St. Mark only; and it forms an additional aggravation of Peter's sin. The "cockcrowing" was a term used for one of the divisions of the night (see <a href="/mark/13-35.htm">Mark 13:35</a>). But it appears that there were three times at which the cock-crowing might be expected - namely, (1) early in the night, between eleven and twelve; (2) between one and two; and (3) between five and six. . . . <a href="/commentaries/mark/14-30.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>“Truly Ἀμὴν (Amēn) Hebrew Word <a href="/greek/strongs_281.htm">Strong's 281: </a> Of Hebrew origin; properly, firm, i.e. trustworthy; adverbially, surely.
