{Wilt thou lay down?} ( h(8873)eis;). Jesus picks up Peter's
very words and challenges his boasted loyalty. See such
repetition in 16:16f.,31 21:17 . {Shall not crow} (ph(936e)(8873)(8869)).
Aorist active subjunctive of ph(936e)e(935c), to use the voice, used of
animals and men. Note strong double negative ou m(885c). Mark adds
dis (twice). John's report is almost identical with that in Lu
22:34 . The other disciples joined in Peter's boast ( Mr 14:31 Mt 26:35 ). {Till thou hast denied} (he(9373) hou arn(8873)(8869)). Future
middle indicative or aorist middle subjunctive second person
singular (form identical) with compound conjunction he(9373) hou
(until which time), "till thou deny or deniest" (_futurum
exactum_ needless). Peter is silenced for the present. They all
"sat astounded and perplexed" (Dods).
