Calling curses down upon himself, Peter vehemently denied that he knew Jesus . At that moment a rooster crowed. When he heard it, Peter went out and wept bitterly. Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time , “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”
Our friend Peter would , of course, have none of it. “This very night, before the rooster crows up the dawn, you will deny me three times.” (Matthew 26: 34 MSG) But Peter upped the ante: “Even if I had to die with you, I would never deny you.” (Matthew 26:35 MSG) He wasn’t the only one that said that actually.
Judas chose to betray Jesus for money. Peter chose to deny Jesus for safety and security. They by no means had to do those things just as you and I don’t have to sin.
The disciple whom Jesus loved is referred to, specifically, six times in John’s gospel: It is this disciple who, while reclining beside Jesus at the Last Supper, asks Jesus who it is that will betray him, after being requested by Peter to do so.
John 19:2-3 says “And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. The color Purple was that of royalty. They came up to him, saying, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’
Once one of Jesus’s most trusted disciples, Judas became the poster child for treachery and cowardice. From the moment he plants a kiss on Jesus of Nazareth in the Garden of Gethsemane, Judas Iscariot sealed his own fate: to be remembered as history’s most famous traitor.
After they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter , “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Take care of my lambs.” We read where Peter denied Christ three times, then wept bitterly (Mt. 26: 69- 75; Mk.
He asked Jesus to command Peter to come to Him. Jesus did, and Peter got out of the boat. He began to walk on the water toward Jesus . But when Peter heard the loud winds and saw the waves crashing around him, he was afraid.
If blasphemy is actually a form of denial (which I think it is), it would have to be against the Holy Spirit, not against Jesus Christ. So in light of these four truths, denying Christ cannot be the unforgivable sin. If you have denied Christ, you are forgiven!
jESUS KNEW WHEN HE PICKED HIM AS A DESIPLE THAT HE WOULD BETRAY HIM,IT WAS PREDICTED IN THE SCRIPTURES. JUDAS DID NOT REPENT AND WOULD NOT SO THERE WAS NO REASON TO PRAY . PETER DENYED JESUS THREE TIMES BUT HE REPENTED AND Jesus knew this so he prayed for him. Judas was led away by greed and his own lust.
When Jesus was washing his disciple’s feet, Peter said, “No! You shall never wash my feet!” Then Jesus said, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
With the Keys of St. Peter , often one key is gold and the other silver. The first represents the power to bind and loose in heaven , spiritual authority, while the second represents the power to bind and loose on earth, temporal authority. Jesus gave Peter “the keys of the kingdom of heaven ,” not the keys to heaven .
Mary Magdalene as trusted disciple For its part, the Bible gave no hint that Mary Magdalene was Jesus’s wife . None of the four canonical gospels suggests that sort of relationship, even though they list the women who travel with Jesus and in some cases include their husbands’ names.
This would correspond or coincide with the Ephesus tradition according to which John the apostle who, according to Irenaeus of Lyons (Ad. Haer. III, 1, 1-2), wrote his gospel in Ephesus, took Mary, the mother of God , with him to that famous city in Asia minor where she died according to legend.
The Apostles’ experience at the Transfiguration reminds us that no matter how powerful a spiritual experience is, the time comes when we have to come down off the mountain and rejoin our everyday life.
