But he denied it before them all In this phrase, we see the Apostle Peter's first denial of Jesus, a pivotal moment in the Passion narrative. The Greek word for "denied" is "ἀρνέομαι" (arneomai), which means to disown or repudiate. This word choice is significant as it conveys a strong sense of rejection, highlighting the gravity of Peter's actions. Historically, Peter's denial is a fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy earlier in the chapter (Matthew 26:34), demonstrating the foreknowledge of Christ and the frailty of human resolve under pressure. The phrase "before them all" indicates that Peter's denial was public, adding to the weight of his betrayal. This public setting underscores the fear and pressure Peter faced, as he was surrounded by those who were hostile to Jesus. “I do not know what you are talking about,” he said Parallel Commentaries ...
