From a fully vowelled text

قَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «وَلَوِ اضْطُرِرْتُ أَنْ أَمُوتَ مَعَكَ لاَ أُنْكِرُكَ!» هكَذَا قَالَ أَيْضًا جَمِيعُ التَّلاَمِيذِ.Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.Matthew 26:35, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَقَالَ بِأَكْثَرِ تَشْدِيدٍ: «وَلَوِ اضْطُرِرْتُ أَنْ أَمُوتَ مَعَكَ لاَ أُنْكِرُكَ!». وَهكَذَا قَالَ أَيْضًا الْجَمِيعُ.But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.Mark 14:31, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَلكِنْ لَمَّا قَاوَمَ الْيَهُودُ، اضْطُرِرْتُ أَنْ أَرْفَعَ دَعْوَايَ إِلَى قَيْصَرَ، لَيْسَ كَأَنَّ لِي شَيْئًا لأَشْتَكِيَ بِهِ عَلَى أُمَّتِي.But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.Acts 28:19, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
