MARK 14:30 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.”
Truly I tell you, Jesus answered, today — yes, tonight — before the rooster crows twice you yourself will disown me three times — the specificity of the prediction is maximum: today, tonight, before the rooster crows twice (Mark alone includes the twice), three times. The precision of the prediction and its exact fulfillment (14:66–72) is one of the clearest demonstrations of divine foreknowledge in the passion narrative.
