« Chapter 22*»

“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”
Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”

Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. But when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.”
But he denied it. “WOMAN, I DON’T KNOW HIM,” he said.
A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”
“MAN, I AM NOT!” Peter replied.
About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.”
Peter replied, “MAN, I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!”
Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.

Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Hiya, Mary-Lou! (If you hear any roosters crowing, just ignore them—they’re not meant for you.)

So then, repenting of sin is a sign of weakness?

That kind of weakness is universal, not distinctive to Peter. I plead “guilty as charged”.

Me too, we all are, to one extent or another.

“There are no atheists in foxholes.”

"War is hell", but that is indeed a heavenly byproduct.

#10 Mironov. Highly dramatic, the hiding Peter and the mantle of Christ brushing against him as he is taken away.

The common format I notice in most paintings by Mironov is that they are tightly focused closeups. He is not afraid to zoom in on the human face, as he did here. I find it tremendously appealing.

Thank you, Alba! I had missed that completely.

It is exquisite. I will certainly add that to the collection.
