I asked where Jesus said that he would rid the land of Romans and restore Israel. You imply that motivation for Peter in justifying your characterization of Peter's action in denying the Christ 3 times. You have not demonstrated that justification. Bottom line is that Peter had an idea that Jesus would die and rise again as proved in Matthew 16.
He didn't. That is what the Messiah was expected to be by the Jews of the day, and it is evident from many of the things the disciples said or asked that they had a great deal of difficulty seeing Jesus without that presuppositional grid.

I didn't "imply" anything of the kind. The disciples were disillusioned by Christ's death and probably thought they had wasted three years of their life following a false Messiah.
None of what I have said is outside the mainstream interpretation of the Gospels. Don't blame me if you haven't done your homework.
