Peter declared
This phrase introduces the speaker, Peter, one of Jesus' closest disciples. The Greek word for "declared" is "ἔφη" (ephē), which implies a strong assertion or proclamation. Peter's declaration is significant because it reflects his impulsive and passionate nature, often seen throughout the Gospels. Historically, Peter is known for his boldness and leadership among the disciples, which makes his declarations carry weight and importance.

Even if all fall away
The phrase "fall away" is translated from the Greek word "σκανδαλισθήσονται" (skandalisthēsontai), which means to stumble or be offended. This term is often used in the New Testament to describe a spiritual stumbling or falling into sin. Peter's assertion here is that even if all others are led into sin or desertion, he will remain steadfast. This reflects Peter's confidence in his own faithfulness, yet it also foreshadows his impending denial of Christ, highlighting the human tendency to overestimate one's own strength.

I will not
This emphatic statement by Peter underscores his determination and self-assurance. The Greek phrase "οὐκ ἐγώ" (ouk egō) is a strong negation, emphasizing Peter's belief in his own loyalty. This moment is pivotal as it sets the stage for the events that follow, where Peter's confidence is tested. It serves as a reminder of the frailty of human promises without divine support.

fall away
Reiterating the earlier term, "fall away" again uses "σκανδαλισθήσονται" (skandalisthēsontai). The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the central theme of the passage: the potential for spiritual failure. In the broader scriptural context, this serves as a warning to believers about the dangers of self-reliance and the need for humility and dependence on God's strength.

Verse 29. - But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. Our Lord had just distinctly stated that they would all be offended, and therefore these words of St. Peter were very presumptuous. Conscious of his own infirmities, he ought to have said, "I know that through my own infirmity this may easily happen. Nevertheless, I trust to thy mercy and goodness to save me." Just such is the Christian's daily experience. We often think that we are strong in the faith, strong in purity, strong in patience. But when temptation arises, we falter and fall. The true remedy against temptation is the consciousness of our own weakness, and supplication for Divine strength.
