Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee,.... Christ, the more strongly to asseverate what he was about to say, uses the word verily, or prefixes his "Amen" to it, as being a certain truth, and what Peter might assure himself of would certainly come to pass: that this night before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice; which is, as if he should say, thou wilt not only be offended because of...
