No. The Bible says it was Peter not John who denied Jesus:

John 13:37,38 "Lord, why can't I follow you now?" asked Peter. "I am ready to die for you!"

Jesus answered, "Are you really ready to die for me? I am telling you the truth: before the rooster crows you will say three times that you do not know me.

verse 37 - Typically over enthusiastic, Peter expressed willingness to die for the Lord. He thought he could endure martyrdom by his own strength.

verse 38 - Jesus checks his "zeal without knowledge" by telling Peter something he himself did not know, that is, before the night was ended, he would deny the Lord three times. Thus Peter was reminded of his weakness, cowardice, and inability to follow the Lord for even a few hours by his own power.

Answer/

John supported the distressed Virgin Mary as Jesus was being crucified and comforted her as she walked weeping through the streets.

In so doing, John risked charges incurring the death penalty for being seen as Jesus' follower and so was not avoiding possible death - see The Lament of the Virgin.

HAD Jesus called his disciples before he cured his mother-in-law?

The mother-in-law was Peter Simon's mother-in-law. Jesus was not married. Jesus had called some of His disciples but perhaps not all. The Gospels are not exactly chronological. They do follow close but we are not sure about some of the events and there order. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Matthew is not called until after Peter's mother-in-law is healed. Did it happen that way? Perhaps


In what order were the disciples chosen?

In Mark, Jesus saw Peter and his brother Andrew together fishing, and called them to follow him. James and John, sons of Zeberdee, were the next disciples to be chosen. Mark chapter 3 has Jesus formally choose the twelve from those who followed him.In Matthew, Jesus once again saw Peter and his brother Andrew together fishing, and called them to follow him. James and John, sons of Zeberdee, were the next disciples to be chosen. Matthew has Jesus call Matthew the tax-collector.In Luke, Jesus met Simon Peter in his mother's house, but did not call him at that stage. Later, he helped some fishermen in a boat - James and John, sons of Zebedee, and Simon. Jesus told Simon that he would follow Jesus, so the three left their boat and followed Jesus. It was some time later that Jesus actually chose the remainder of his disciples, including Andrew, brother of Peter, but not necessarily in any order.In John's Gospel, Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist. John told him and another disciple to follow Jesus. Later, Andrew fetched his brother Simon, who joined the other disciples. John does not mention all the disciples and provides least information as to when the author believed them to have been chosen.

What were Peter and James and John doing while Jesus was praying and agonizing in Gethsemane?

A:According to Mark's Gospel, Jesus went with Peter and James and John to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus went to pray. His disciples, Peter, James and John, fell asleep. "Could you not watch one hour?" Jesus asked. The process was repeated two more times. The disciples could not watch one, two or three hours. These time intervals are so precise and fit into Mark's sequence for the last twenty four hours in the life of Jesus, that the story is not so much about the disciples sleeping but about counting out the time interval between 9 o'clock and midnight, when Jesus was betrayed. Mark breaks up the last twenty four hours into eight intervals of exactly three hours each: We start with the Last Supper, which began "when it was evening" (Mark 14:17), or when the sun went down: approximately 6 pm.Mark knew that the duration of the Passover meal was three hours and that it concluded with the singing of a hymn, so the first thing Jesus did was to sing a hymn with his disciples. Then Mark says, "And when they had sung a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives". It was about 9 p.m.Mark then has Jesus and the disciples go to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus went to pray. It was here that the disciples were not able to remain awake. "Could you not watch one hour?" Jesus asked. The process was repeated two more times. The disciples could not watch one, two or three hours. It was now midnight.The act of betrayal, the darkest deed in human history, came next, occurring at the stroke of midnight.At 3:00 a.m., Jesus was led away for a trial before the high priest and other senior priests and elders. This governing body then judged him, on the basis of his messianic claim, to be worthy of death.The watch of the night between 3 am and 6 am was called cockcrow. Peter's threefold denial of Jesus, once each hour until the cock crowed, marked the end of that phase of the night. That makes it 6 am."As soon as it was morning", which would be 6 am, Jesus was led by the chief priests, scribes and elders to Pontius Pilate for judgement."It was the third hour when they crucified him," that is, 9 o'clock.When "the sixth hour had come" (12 noon), darkness covered the whole earth, reflecting the betrayal at 12 midnight.After three hours of darkness, at 3 p.m., Jesus cried out and gave up the ghost.Joseph of Arimathea then asked Pilate for the body of Jesus, so that he could be buried before the Sabbath began. Jesus was buried in the final period from 3 to 6 pm, before the sun went down.This is a chiastic structure in which the first set of four period is mirrored in the second set. Between 9 and 12 in the evening, Jesus agonised in Gethsemene while the disciples were spiritually absent in sleep. Between 9 and 12 the next morning, Jesus suffered on the cross while the disciples were absent.The later gospels, now known to have been dependent on this account, blur Mark's chronological order, which their authors did not see as important. John's Gospel omits the passage in which Jesus prays and agonises in Gethsemane and then has the beloved disciple at the foot of the cross, but Mark makes it clear that those of Jesus acquaintance watched from afar.
