Matthew 26:35 - Exposition

Though I should die with thee ( κἀ Ì ν δε ì ῃ με συ Ì ν σοι Ì ἀποθανεῖν , even if I must die with thee ) . Christ's explanation of his meaning only drew from Peter a more energetic asseveration of his constancy even unto death. "He thought he was able," says St. Augustine, "because he felt that he wished." The other apostles made a similar assertion, and Jesus said no more, leaving time to prove the truth of his sad foreboding.
