What does the Bible say about Peter's denial?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible recounts Peter's denial of Christ three times during the passion narrative, illustrating human weakness and Christ's grace.

Peter's denial is recorded in all four Gospels and serves as a powerful testament to both human frailty and divine grace. In Luke 22:54-62, Peter follows Jesus after His arrest but ultimately denies knowing Him three times. This moment not only highlights Peter's weakness but also reflects the typical struggle of believers who may falter in their faith under pressure. The details of Peter cursing and swearing in his denial showcase the deep conflict within him. However, this narrative underscores that even in Peter's failure, Christ's intercession for him remained steadfast, pointing to the assurance of grace available to all believers.
