What Does Matthew 26:33 Mean?
Peter hears the warning and exempts himself from it. Though every other man should stumble, he declares, I will never be offended. He compares himself favorably with his brethren even as he contradicts his Lord.
Peter's love is real; so is his self-ignorance. The boldest vow in the room will be the first to break. Confidence built on comparison -- though all men, yet not I -- stands on sand. The disciple who believes himself beyond falling has already begun to fall.
