The act of going outside signifies Peter's separation from the immediate environment where he denied Christ, symbolizing a physical and emotional departure from his failure. In biblical times, going outside often represented a change in state or condition, as seen in other scriptures where individuals leave a place of sin or judgment to seek repentance or solitude (e.g., <a href="/genesis/19-17.htm">Genesis 19:17</a>, where Lot is instructed to flee Sodom).<p><b>and wept bitterly</b><br>Peter's weeping is a profound expression of remorse and repentance. The term "bitterly" indicates the depth of his sorrow, suggesting a heartfelt recognition of his sin and a desire for forgiveness. In Jewish culture, weeping was a common expression of grief and repentance, often associated with mourning or deep regret (e.g., <a href="/jeremiah/31-9.htm">Jeremiah 31:9</a>, where weeping is linked to repentance and return to God). This moment is pivotal for Peter, as it marks the beginning of his restoration, paralleling the biblical theme of repentance leading to redemption. His tears can be seen as a precursor to the grace and forgiveness he will later receive, reflecting the transformative power of Christ's love and mercy.<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 boldness and impulsive nature.
