Summary

In this verse, Jesus predicts Peter's denial of Him three times before the rooster crows twice. This prophecy reveals Jesus' foreknowledge of Peter's weakness and the impending events leading to His crucifixion. It also demonstrates the fulfillment of Scripture and the human struggle between faithfulness and fear in the face of persecution. Despite Peter's denial, Jesus later reinstates him, showing His grace, forgiveness, and restoration of those who repent and turn back to Him.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And they came to a place which is named Gethsemane,.... At the foot of the Mount of Olives, where the olives, which grew in great plenty on the mount, were pressed: and where our Lord began to be bruised, for our sins: and be saith to his disciples: to eight of them: sit ye here while I shall pray; at some distance from hence; See Gill on Mat 26:36.
