How do we know the story of Peter's denial is true?

Answered in 2 sources

Peter's denial is noted as a significant event in the Bible, which includes details that suggest authenticity, like portraying the failures of its key figures.

The reality of Peter's denial adds credibility to the biblical narrative. If the Gospels were mere fabrications, they would unlikely include such an embarrassing account of one of their principal witnesses. The inclusion of Peter's weakness serves to reinforce the truth of Scripture, revealing that even devoted followers of Christ can succumb to sin. This aspect not only highlights the humanity of biblical figures but also the truth of the message of grace found in Christ.
