14彼得被主迷到一个地步,虽然整天受责备,还是跟定了祂,责备也责备不走。……彼得脸皮很厚,多次被主耶稣对付,还是照样跟从祂。在主被卖的前一夜,……主说,“彼得,我告诉你,今日鸡还没有叫,你要三次否认你认得我。”(路二二34)彼得不仅不信这话,还说,“我就是必须和你同死,也绝不会否认你。”(太二六35)后来彼得在大祭司的院子里坐着,有一个小使女来问他;这一问,他就否认主了。当时主转过身来看彼得,彼得便想起主对他所说的话,就到外面去痛哭(路二二54~62)。 14Peter was charmed by the Lord to such an extent that although he was rebuked by the Lord frequently, he still determined to follow Him…Peter was thick-skinned. He had been rebuked by the Lord many times, but he still followed Him. On the night of His betrayal, the Lord said…, “I tell you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know Me” (Luke 22:34). Not only did Peter disbelieve this word, but he even said, “Even if I must die with You, I will by no means deny You” (Matt. 26:35). Later, while Peter was sitting in the courtyard of the high priest, a little servant girl came to question him. Because of her questioning, Peter denied the Lord. At that time the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter, remembering the Lord’s word to him, went outside and wept bitterly (Luke 22:54-62).
