Matthew 26:69-75

I know not; I do not understand what you mean. No past privileges or attainments can be relied on for future or even present support. God must give us day by day our daily supply of wisdom, goodness, and strength, or we shall have none. "Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe;" guide me, and I shall go in the right way. Thy speech; thy peculiar manner of speaking.

Betrayeth thee; showeth thee to be a Galilean. Curse; imprecate God's curse if he uttered falsehood.

Swear; declare with an oath. The word of Jesus; verse Mt 26:34.

Wept bitterly; on account of his sin, in denying his Lord. If a good man sin he will repent, mourn bitterly over his transgressions, and turn from them unto God. He has an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. One look from Him will lead the penitent disciple to loathe himself, and to admire, adore, and trust in the Redeemer. His life will be holy; his death safe, if not peaceful and triumphant; and his eternity blessed.
