One never knows himself until he is tested. The disciples went with Christ to the Mount of  Olives where He warned them that they would forsake Him. But Peter assured Jesus of his loyalty, v29. The group then went to Gethsemane to pray where Peter went to sleep with the others, v37. When the guards came to take Jesus, Peter grabbed a sword and tried to defend Christ, v47. And finally, when Jesus was taken to be questioned, Peter stayed in the courtyard and when confronted. swore and denied he even knew Jesus, vs 66-72.

Peter’s failures are well known, but perhaps we have failed under much less pressure than he faced. “Lead us not into temptation” (Matt. 6:13) would be a wise prayer for all.
