And Jesus saith unto him, verily I say unto thee, etc..] As confident as thou art of standing by me, and abiding with me; that this day, which was then begun; for the Jews reckoned their days from evening, as in (<010105>Genesis 1:5); even in this night; this night to be observed, this night of the passover, before it is past: before the cock crow twice; for there was a first and second cock crowing, the one at midnight, and the other near break of day, and which last is properly the cock crowing: the word “twice” is left out in the Ethiopic version: thou shalt deny me thrice; as he did; (see Gill on “<402634>Matthew 26:34”).
