Peter declares Jesus as the Son of God, But he at times wavers and another time again asserts his alliegience. There are similar characters in the OT like Jacob, Moses, David etc. For.eg. Moses a convict in the eyes of Pharao still standing against the Pharao, but fails in the wilderness of Sin Kadesh as hedid what he was supposed not to do at all (Numbers 20:11; where upon he was denied the entry to the promised Land (Deuteronomy 32:51)All were great only when they walked with God and when God was with them. But when they handled according to their will and forgot God they failed . Peter also failed when he departed Jesus. His denial, his resuming the old profession and failing there utterly without catching any thing. But as he received Holy Spirit He stood for Jesus and feared no consequences. He even was not stubborn to execute his will alone. Instead he was open enough to accept the Will of God though he was unwilling to share that insight. He after having the vision, was ready to baptize Cornelius and accept him to the fold. But it was a long process mixed with denial , failiure and conviction. At last the conviction that Jesus is Son of God prevailed. This is repeated in the Acts of Peter in the Quest for the Historical Apostles P.84. The question of Peter to Jesus as he was fleeing from Rome to escape prosecution when he met Jesus coming in the direction of Rome Quo vadis, Domine? and Jesus answer to Peter hearing which Peter returns to Rome and became a martyr. If we go only our way we will only fail and will be like the donkey on whom Jesus rode. When Jesus is no more upon the donkey, it is nobody. Two verses. 2.Corinthians 11:9; I Corinthians 15:10.

In the shadow of the cross Jesus has a spiritual focus upon His suffering, but the disciples still have a temporal focus upon self.

Jesus is arrested; Peter denies the Lord; Jesus is questioned by the council.

When the rooster crows is when the Holy Spirit draws us to himself.

Today, we come to one of the most infamous Scripture passages in all of the New Testament–Peter’s denial of Jesus. As we know, Peter talked too much, listened very little, refused to pray, acted too fast, and followed Jesus at a distance. 
In other words, Peter has a bad case of the normals. 
Peter represents all of us at one time or another in our own lives. 
And today’s Scripture passage is disturbing because of where that leads.
