because he was afraid that the Romans may kill him
peter betrayed jesus
It was Peter. Peter knew who Jesus was, the Son of God.
Yes there were people who were with him. Like Matthew, John , Peter, James.
When Jesus asked Peter "'YOU, though, who do YOU say I am?'"Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.'"(Matthew 16:15+16)
Simon Peter was a disciple of Jesus and three times he denied that he knew Jesus. (Matthew 26.34.)
I suppose one of the big things about it is that Jesus knew that Peter would deny that he even knew Him (not even just one, but three times), and Jesus still loved Peter enough to make Peter the rock of the church.
Jesus knew very well he would die on the cross, and he also knew Peter would denie s him thrice and Judas would betray him. We an read it .Because Jesus tells Judas WHAT YOU DO DO QUICKLY.
Because Peter recognized Jesus as the Son of God, he was made the foundatio of the new Christianity movement. Jesus knew He had a very limited time to finish His work on earth. He counted on the disciples to carry on after his ascention. It was an awesome responsiblity for those 12 men, the burden of which may have crushed lesser men.
It would depend upon your question. In the Book of Mark, Chapter 8, when Jesus says to His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" Peter answers, "Thou art the Christ" (Mark 8:29). When Peter said to Jesus, "I shall never deny you Master." Jesus, told Peter, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times." This was during the Last Supper. Before the cock crowed twice, on the day of the Crucifixion, Peter denied three times that he knew Jesus. Peter later wept in repentance (Mark 14:72).
Only GOD know d the future , not us.....
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.
