In the bible we read of Jesus and his twelve deciples, Jesus sat down with his deciples on the first day of the feast. Jesus tells this deciples that the time is come for him to be betrayed and crucified. The deciples begin to ask who would betray him. But he does not disclose who his betrayer is or would be.
When Jesus sitting with his twelve deciples as they ate says, "Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me...and begin everyone of them to say unto him, Lord is it I? Jesus answers and said, he that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. Judas owns up to Jesus what he has done.
Peter answered and said unto Jesus, though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never will I be offended...Jesus said unto him, "this night, before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. Peter denies that he will deny Jesus, as the others do also.
The deciples fled as the priests came to take Jesus away. Peter followed him to the High Priests palace and sat with the servants to see the end.
Peter was confronted by a woman saying he was with Jesus, He denied it before them all...another maid saw him, saying Peter was with Jesus, Again he denied with an oath...others in the crowed came and said, he was one of them, ie the deciples, again Peter begin to curse and swear, saying he did not know Jesus.
Then Peter remembered the words of Jesus "Before the cocks crow, thou shalt deny me thrice...he wept bitterly.
sometimes we may not think that we will betray people
but if someone who likes to gossip and tell tales and if we are not careful
and not think we could slip and betray someone, or if angry
we could do it to hurt that person as much as it hurt us.
It pays to keep an open mind and keep a pure heart to keep our own mouths closed
