John records in his gospel the long discourse Jesus gave before his Passion, where Jesus foreshadowed what was to come. First, he foretells Peter's denial: “Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!” (John 13:38b, NIV). Later, he describes what he will do: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13, NIV).
