Episode Details

In this painful scene, Peter denies three times that he even knows Jesus, despite his earlier bold promises of loyalty. As the rooster crows, Peter remembers Jesus’ words and realizes the depth of his failure, and he breaks down in bitter tears. But Jesus' warning was not meant to condemn Peter; it was intended to let Peter know that his worst moment would not be the end of the story. Our lowest moments and worst failures can become turning points in Jesus' loving hands.
