PETER (denied Christ)
Luke 22:54-61 “And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.” (You don’t have to sign something to deny Christ.)
(Matthew 12:37 “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”)
v. 62 “And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.” (He betrayed the Lord and, yes, he was sorry for it.)
(Matthew 27:3-10 “Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders. . . .”) (Repentance made no difference here.)
(Mark 14:21 “The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.”)
