Taking you off ignore for a moment because this needs to be addressed.
It's very hard to see omniscience in Peter and Jesus' dialogue.
You have to read it into the verse.
But you can't understand that until you have a paradigm shift, so as to NOT read omniscience into the text.
Bearing false witness is a sin, Lon. Don't do that.
Try reading the passage without thinking of "omniscience," and instead thinking of the fact that Jesus had just spent the past THREE YEARS living with Peter and the others... (It also helps to read the passage in modern English, so that you're not having to interpret the text into modern English in order to understand what it's saying.)
Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:‘I will strike the Shepherd,And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.” Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.” Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”And so said all the disciples.

Jesus knew Peter, not the future. And because He knew Peter, just as He knew everyone else in the world, predicting what one person would do in a given situation is no hard task.
He knew how Peter would react when pressed, because He knew Peter was a bit of a coward, who didn't understand Jesus' plan! You could even say he was a bit of a basket case! (cf. Matthew 26:51; Mark 14:47; Luke 22:50; John 18:10)
So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” He said to him again a second time, “Simon, of Jonah, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”He said to him, “Tend My sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep. Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry where you do not wish.” This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me.”

Only if you intentionally read omniscience into the text.
I know, it's hard to rid yourself of your a priori beliefs, but it's necessary if you want to better understand the text.
Peter isn't saying "you are omniscient."
Peter was conceding that Jesus knew him better than he knew himself, or at the very least, better than Peter wanted to say he knew himself... Because Jesus correctly, based on His relationship with Peter from the past three years, knew that Peter would deny him, not because He knew the future, but because He knew Peter.
Again, there's no reason to read omniscience into the text.
