The narration of peter’s denial

Answer 1

The narration of Peter's denial is a story told within the Christian Gospels—Matthew (26:69-75), Mark (14:66-72), Luke (22:54-62), and John (18:15-18, 25-27)—all four of which describe the Apostle Peter denying knowing Jesus three times after Jesus's arrest and during his trial.

Here is a summary of the story from the different accounts:

On the night before his crucifixion, Jesus had the Last Supper with his disciples. During this time, he predicted that one of his disciples would betray him and that Peter would deny him three times before the rooster crowed the following morning. Peter vehemently denied that he would do such a thing, professing his loyalty to Jesus.

Later, after Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane and taken to the high priest's palace for trial, Peter followed at a distance. As Peter sat in the courtyard outside the trial, a servant girl recognized him as one of Jesus's followers. She approached Peter and said, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee," but Peter denied it in front of everyone, saying he did not know what she was talking about.

Soon after, another servant girl saw him and said to those standing there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth." Again, Peter denied it, this time with an oath: "I don't know the man!"

A little while later, others standing nearby came up to Peter and said, "Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away." According to the Gospel of John, one of the persons who questioned Peter was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off in the Garden. At this point, Peter began to curse and swear, insisting, "I don’t know the man!" And immediately a rooster crowed.

Peter then remembered Jesus's words about how he would deny him three times before the rooster crowed, and he went outside and wept bitterly, overcome with the realization that he had fulfilled Jesus's prophecy despite his earlier insistence that he would never abandon his master.

This story highlights themes of human frailty, fear, and repentance and is often used to illustrate the concept of forgiveness and restoration in Christian teachings, as Peter would later be forgiven and go on to play a crucial role in the early Christian Church.
