Peter's Denial

It was the night of the Last Supper, and Jesus and his disciples had gathered in an upper room to share a meal together. As they reclined at the table, Jesus spoke solemnly to his disciples, foretelling of the trials and tribulations that lay ahead.

"Truly I tell you," Jesus said, "one of you will betray me."

The disciples were filled with dismay and disbelief at these words, each one wondering if he could be the one to betray their beloved teacher. But Peter, ever impulsive and outspoken, was the first to speak up.

"Lord, I would never betray you," Peter declared boldly, his voice tinged with righteous indignation. "Even if I must die with you, I will never disown you."
