Mark 14:30
Amharic New Standard Translation (አማርኛ አዲሱ መደበኛ ትርጉም) 2005
What Does This Mean?
Jesus tells Peter that before the rooster crows twice in the early morning, he will deny knowing Jesus three times. This shows the contrast between Jesus' certainty and Peter's eventual denial.
Explained for Children
Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek with your friends at night. Your friend says, 'You'll forget about me before I count to ten.' It feels like it won't happen, but sometimes when we're scared or confused, we do things we didn’t think we would do.
Historical Background
The Gospel of Mark was written by John Mark in the mid-1st century. He wrote this account for early Christians, providing details about Jesus' life and prophecy to prepare them for future challenges.
Living It Out Today
Imagine a manager who says you'll stay loyal during a company crisis but later finds out you quit when things got tough. This verse reminds us that we often underestimate our capacity to deny what's important to us in moments of stress or fear.
