John 13:37 "Peter said unto him... I will lay down my life for thy sake."
Peter anticipated that his loyalty to Jesus would be put to the test. Upon Jesus' arrest, he mistakenly thought his willingness to use force would help their situation.
John 18:10 "Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus."
Jesus, understanding his responsibility to bring God's deliverance to all, immediately took action, reversing the damage caused by Peter.
Luke 22:51 "And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him."
Peter denied Jesus because he was afraid if the crowd, who wanted to kill Jesus, knew he was one of Jesus' disciples. They would want to kill him as well. Overall, he was afraid of prison and death.
Peter did not kill himself after he denied knowing Jesus, he "went outside and wept bitterly" (Luke 22:62). John 21:18-19 indicates that Peter died as a martyr. The only one of the apostles who killed himself was Judas Iscariot, who hanged himself after he betrayed Jesus (Matthew 27:5).
because he was afraid that the Romans may kill him
They were not kings.They were wise men.The king sent them to see and kill the new king who was to be named Jesus.

It was not the fact that they skimped on their monetary donation but the fact that they lied to God that was the reason for the death of Ananias and Sapphira. There is nothing in chapter 5 of Acts that suggests Peter killed Ananias and Sapphira. Of course Jesus is the ultimate example of forgivensess. ASKER: But didn't the guy named Paul (apostle?) kill a man for calling him bald? Seems to be pretty much like Peter did killing Ananias and Sapphira. Both Paul and Peter could have blessed those folks who had done wrong, but they chose instead to curse unto death. I don't remember Jesus doing anything like this even when he was on the cross he prayed, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do".
