Jan 4, 2022 · When Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me?” in John 21:15–16, He used the Greek word agape, which refers to unconditional love. Both times, Peter responded with “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you,” using the Greek word phileo, which refers more to a brotherly/friendship type of love.

In response Jesus speaks strong words to Peter. Peter's old habit of lapsing into error right after experiencing truth is still present (cf. Mt 16:16, 22-23 par. Mk 8:29, 33). He is sure of the Lord's knowledge (cf. v. 17), but he has not learned what submission to his will entails (vv. 18-19).
Jul 29, 2022 · The command “Get behind me, Satan,” spoken to Peter by Jesus, is recorded in Matthew 16:23 and Mark 8:33. “Get behind me, Satan” seems harsh and out of character for Jesus, especially when addressing Peter, one of His most devout disciples.

This passage takes place during Jesus’ last Passover meal with His disciples. He’s just instituted the Sacrament of Communion and mentions a disciple (Judas) at the table who will betray Him. This naturally kickstarts an argument among the disciples about which of them is the best. Unfortunately, after all this time with Jesus, they’re still so qui...
Jesus leads the disciples to Gethsemane at the Mount of Olives to pray. It is here that the authorities arrest Him. A detachment of soldiers was led into the garden by Judas. Peter jumps at the chance to show Jesus he isn’t afraid and would never deny Him. He pulls a sword and takes a swing at the servant of the high priest (probably one of the lea...
John’s account of the evening dramatically cuts back and forth between Jesus’ trial and Peter’s experience in the courtyard. There is some discussion regarding the identity of this second disciple known to the high priest. Could it be Judas? Could it be some well-known disciple who was not one of the twelve? Could it be John himself? It’s hard to s...
After Peter’s first denial, John switches the narrative to Jesus before the high priest (John 18:19–24), brilliantly comparing Jesus’ response to His interrogation with Peter’s. As accusations are leveled against Jesus, He refuses to deny the charges. Peter, on the other hand, denies everything. Things start going south for Peter. Now others are in...
Jesus appears to the disciples more than once, and Peter is present, but Peter had to feel that his denial was hanging over the joy of Jesus’ resurrection and the connection the two had previously shared. Jesus asks him, “Do you love me more than these?” Peter has often been vocal about his faithfulness, suggesting that even if others fall away, he...
Like Peter, it’s pretty easy for us to believe that we’re more faithful and courageous than we truly are. However, it isn’t until we encounter difficult and challenging moments that we discover the truth. Sometimes those moments reveal sinful and broken areas we have yet to identify and deal with. When we fail, there’s a huge temptation to give up....

Feb 12, 2024 · We read in Luke 22:33 that Peter was “ready to go to prison and death” for the sake of Jesus. The response that Jesus gave to him must have been heartbreaking, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me” (Luke 22:34).
Peter’s Declaration about Jesus. 13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”[a] 14 “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” 15 Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
Sep 11, 2020 · Jesus is re-creating His original call of Peter. John notes that the disciples worked all night because that’s what they did. Recording the fact that Jesus appeared just as dawn was breaking reminds us of the resurrection when the women came to the tomb also at the break of dawn.
