His boldness and impulsive nature are well-documented throughout the Gospels. This declaration is consistent with his character, as seen in other instances such as his confession of Jesus as the Christ (<a href="/matthew/16-16.htm">Matthew 16:16</a>) and his attempt to walk on water (<a href="/matthew/14-28.htm">Matthew 14:28-29</a>).<p><b>“Even if all fall away</b><br>The phrase "fall away" refers to a spiritual stumbling or apostasy. In the context of <a href="/mark/14.htm">Mark 14</a>, Jesus had just predicted that all His disciples would desert Him (<a href="/mark/14-27.htm">Mark 14:27</a>). Peter's statement reflects his confidence and loyalty, yet it also reveals a lack of understanding of his own human frailty. This moment foreshadows the fulfillment of <a href="/zechariah/13-7.htm">Zechariah 13:7</a>, where the shepherd is struck and the sheep scatter.<p><b>I never will.”</b><br>Peter's assertion of unwavering faithfulness is significant, especially in light of his later denial of Jesus (<a href="/mark/14-66.htm">Mark 14:66-72</a>). This highlights the theme of human weakness and the need for divine grace. Peter's eventual restoration (<a href="/john/21-15.htm">John 21:15-19</a>) serves as a powerful testament to forgiveness and redemption. His journey from denial to becoming a foundational leader in the early church (<a href="/acts/2-14.htm">Acts 2:14-41</a>) exemplifies the transformative power of Christ's love and forgiveness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/peter.htm">Peter</a></b><br>One of Jesus' closest disciples, known for his impulsive nature and strong declarations of loyalty to Jesus.

Our Lord had just distinctly stated that they would all be offended, and therefore these words of St. Peter were very presumptuous. Conscious of his own infirmities, he ought to have said, "I know that through my own infirmity this may easily happen. Nevertheless, I trust to thy mercy and goodness to save me." Just such is the Christian's daily experience. We often think that we are strong in the faith, strong in purity, strong in patience. But when temptation arises, we falter and fall. The true remedy against temptation is the consciousness of our own weakness, and supplication for Divine strength. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/mark/14-29.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Peter</span><br /><span class="grk">Πέτρος</span> <span class="translit">(Petros)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_4074.htm">Strong's 4074: </a> </span><span class="str2">Peter, a Greek name meaning rock.
