Today's reading Matthew 26:51-75
Jesus is betrayed and arrested: (Matthew 26.47-55; Mark 14.43-53; Luke 22.47-53; John 18.1-11)
Jesus told his disciples to put away their sword. Peter had cut off the ears of Malchus the high priest's servant
Caiaphas questions Jesus (Matthew 26.57-68; Mark 14.53-65). There were many false witnesses and one of the six trials that Jesus would have to face.
Peter denied Jesus three times (Matthew 26.69-75; Mark 14.66-72; Luke 22.54-65; John 18.25-27).
All four gospels had the account of Peter denying Jesus three times.
Application
What would you have done if you were in Peter's position? Would you have become in rash in the heat of the moment and forgot who Jesus was and cut off the ear of Malchus? Would you have denied Jesus three times? Jesus knows the heart of boastful Peter? What about us today? Would be deny Jesus so that we would save our lives? Let us not be quick to say, I will follow you and die for you, but prayerfully asked the Lord for strength to stand up for him on that day.
