Peter had followed the Lord Jesus for three years as his disciple, or special helper. During those years together, Peter had listened, learned, helped, and watched the Lord Jesus. After witnessing the many miracles that Jesus did, and hearing His wonderful words, Peter had believed on Jesus. In fact, he was much more bold than the other eleven disciples in declaring, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God! 彼得是耶稣的一个门徒。三年来, 他一直跟随著耶稣。在这些年里, 彼得听见, 看见, 学习, 甚至帮助主耶稣。他看见了耶稣行的许多神迹, 听到了耶稣的许多教导, 彼得相信耶稣。而且, 比起其他的十一个门徒来, 彼得信得更勇敢, 他曾对耶稣说：你就是基督, 永生神的儿子。 Sometimes, however, Peter would get so excited, he would speak before he really thought about what he was saying. Have you yourself ever done that?I have! 可是, 有的时候, 彼得兴奋过头了, 他说大话说得都不知道自己在说些什么。 One night the Lord Jesus and His disciples gathered in an upper room to celebrate a special Jewish holiday called Passover. After the special meal, they sung a hymn, and then all went out as a group into the night. As they walked toward the Mount of Olives, Jesus sadly said, All of you will be offended because of me tonight. Jesus meant they would all turn away from Him and leave. Peter quickly responded,Even though all men shall be offended, I never will. Jesus said to him, Truly I tell you, tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me, Peter. |
