Peter's Aim was a Threefold One
Mark 14:29
But Peter said to him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.


it consisted in —

1. His vehement contradiction of the words of Christ.

2. His preferring himself to and putting himself above the rest of the apostles.

3. His self-confidence and boastfulness of his own strength. The remedy against temptation is such a knowledge of our own natural weakness, as may lead us to distrust ourselves, to rely on God, and to seek His protection in all things.

(W. Denton, M. A.)
