Bible Commentary

John 18:25

The second denial. Peter was not facing soldiers this time — just people around a fire. But fear had taken root. The pattern of denial was growing. This is how sin works — one denial makes the next easier.

Memory phrase: Peter denied again.

Talk about it: Why do you think Peter denied Jesus a second time even though he had already gotten past the danger of the first time?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, protect me from denying You little by little. Keep my heart close and courageous.
