MATTHEW 26:33 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
Matt 26:32Matt 26:34
“Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.”
Peter answered him: though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away. Peter's confident exception of himself from the scattering prediction: the though they all will never I parallels the we are able of Matthew 20:22 — Peter's confident self-assessment that will be disproven by the morning.

Church Fathers on Matthew 26:33

This hymn may be that thanksgiving which in John, Our Lord offers up to the Father, when He lifted up His eyes and prayed for His disciples, and those who should believe through their word. This is that of which the Psalm speaks, 'The poor shall eat and be filled, they shall praise the Lord.' Ps 22:26]
