mocking reproof
Six denials, huh? Strange, Jesus says three. Who do you think is more precise?
**Six denials, huh? Strange, Jesus says three. Who do you think is more precise?**
You’re both wrong. That is not using NEA modern math. 4 gospels X 3 denials = 12 (your results may vary)
Jesus said three
good enough for me
Jesus did not say only three denials. At the Last Supper and before a long dissertation, He foretold of three denials before a cock-crow (Jn. 13:38).
Then, while in the street on the way to the Garden of Gethsemane (Jn. 18:1, Mk. 14:26), Jesus foretold that the disciples would be offended. To which Peter again insisted that he would not. Then Jesus predicted three denials from Peter that would take place before a second cock-crow would take place (Mk. 13:30).
The Bible, since it is typically reliable, is correct.
