And he went outside and wept bitterly!',

Back to THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR

---

"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "this very night, 
before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." 

"No!" Peter insisted. "Not even if I have to die with 
you! I will never deny you!" Matthew 26:34-35

Look at Peter! Who stronger than he? the honoured and 
trusted Companion of Incarnate Love, filled with sincere 
loyalty to the gracious Master. "What! others may deny
You, but I—never! Never shall 'traitor' be branded on 
my brow, or the guilty denial tremble on my lips!" 

See, before long, the presumptuous boaster in an 
anguish of remorseful tears, a moral and spiritual 
shipwreck. "How the mighty have fallen!"

"And he went outside and wept bitterly!" Luke 22:62
