Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:58

‘And after a little while another saw him, and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” ’ A short time later a man looked at him and said, “You are one of them.” His panic then grew worse and he said fiercely, “Man, I am not.” How he wished then that he was anywhere but where he was. And yet he was still brave enough to remain there. He probably argued to himself that his reaction had been justified. (Mark tells us that it was the maid who had again insisted to those... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:59

‘And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, “Of a truth this man also was with him, for he is a Galilaean.” ’ Another hour passed and then yet a third person pointed him out, and speaking confidently indicated that he was a Galilean (his accent had given him away - Matthew 26:73), and must therefore have been with Jesus. If not, why else was he here? Peter’s nerves were now strained to bursting point. Would these challenges never end? read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:60

‘But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” And immediately, while he yet spoke, the cock crew.’ So, at the end of his tether, Peter cried out vehemently, “I don’t know what you are talking about.” And then he heard the cock crow. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:61

‘And the Lord turned, and looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the cock crow this day you will deny me three times.” ’ And at that moment he became aware of Jesus, possibly at this point being led through the courtyard from one trial to another. And as his eyes lighted on Him, the Lord turned and looked at him. It was immediately clear to Peter that He knew exactly what had happened. And he remembered the words of Jesus and recognised the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:62

‘And he went out, and wept bitterly.’ Broken at heart he staggered from the courtyard and found a quiet place and there he wept as though his heart would break. He knew that he had betrayed the One Whom he loved more than life itself, and that that would be Jesus’ final memory of him. He would find it hard to forgive himself for that. The story is one of the few told in one way or another in all four Gospels, which brings out how important it was seen to be. For all knew that in the end it was... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:53-67

Luke 22:53-Tobit : . The Trial before the Sanhedrin ( Mark 14:53-Jude : *, Matthew 26:56-Judith : *).— There are several differences from Mk. Jesus is not taken into the hall at first, but remains in the courtyard, and is present while Peter denies Him, so that when the cock crowed “ the Lord turned and looked on Peter” ( Luke 22:61). The denial scene thus precedes the trial. The second challenge ( Luke 22:58) is not from the first maid (Mk.), or another maid (Mt.), but from a man. Peter... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 22:61-62

Luke 22:61-62 Peter's Repentance a Type of True Sorrow. Observe: I. That Peter's sorrow did not arise from the fact that his guilt was known. II. It was not simply the suffering of remorse. III. The Divine power of Peter's sorrow is shown by three facts. (1) It rose from the sense of Christ's love; (2) it was manifested in the conquest of self-trust; (3) it became the element of spiritual strength. E. L. Hull, Sermons, 3rd series, p. 191. Although the failings and sins of God's eminent... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 22:62

Luke 22:62 Only a Fall. It is very difficult to define a fall. It has boundaries; you go into it and you come out of it. Some conditions of sin have no boundaries. Therefore, till the issue we cannot absolutely pronounce upon any wrong state and tell it is a fall. It rests with you, so to get up at this minute from any sin that you have ever done, that you shall make it only a fall. "Only a fall?" Yes a mere parenthesis, a mere exception, to be absorbed back into the eternal grace of the Lord... read more
