ACC ~ Matthew 26 v58

LOVE OR CURIOSITY

JEROME: Either out of a disciple’s love or out of human curiosity, Peter wanted to know what judgment the high priest would make concerning the Lord: whether he would have Christ put to death or beaten with whips. There is a difference between the eleven apostles and Peter at this point. They fled, whereas he followed the Savior from a distance. COMMENTARY ON MATTHEW 4.26.58. [1]
