The Return of the Iron-blood Sword Hound

As the prophet Lun faced the persecution and walked to the place of execution, his disciples cried and clung to him.

Then the Prophet Lun said, 'I will lift up my sword against the shepherd, and the flock will be scattered.' As it is written, 'All of you will forsake me.'

At this time a young apostle, who would later become the Pope, stepped forward and said, 'Although everyone will forsake the Prophet, I will never forsake him.'

The Prophet Lun said, 'Listen to me, for this morning, before the first rooster crows, you will deny me three times.'

Then Prophet Lun was miserably executed, and the cackling thugs approached and asked the young apostle: 'Are you also the one who walked around with that sinner?'

The young apostle denied it, saying, 'I do not know what you are talking about.'

Then one of the women passing by said, 'This is the person who usually begs the sinner to instruction and volunteers to be their messenger!'

The young apostle replied, 'I do not know him.' The young apostle denied it on oath.

A short time later, a large group of executioners arrived and shouted at the young apostle. 'I can tell by the way you speak. You are in league with sinners!'.

Then the young apostle swore that he would be punished if he lied, and said, 'I don't know.'

Just then, the first rooster crowed.
