Exegesis
The strong negation ou mē {οὐ μὴ | ou mē} with phōnēsē {φωνήσῃ | phōnḗsē} ‘may crow’ creates an absolute restriction, bounded by heōs hou {ἕως οὗ | héōs hoû} ‘until,’ which leads into the subjunctive arnēsē {ἀρνήσῃ | arnḗsē} ‘you may deny’ with tris {τρίς | trís} denoting repetition and me {με | me} as its object. This construction heightens the tension between Peter’s intended devotion and the foretold denials.
In context — John 13:38
Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.”
