1. "No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him." (Matt. 11:27.)—2. The Transfiguration. He speaks of himself as an eye-witness of the majesty of the Lord, and one of those who heard the voice from the excellent gory saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (2 Peter 1:16-18.)—3. The Lord prayed that Peter's faith might not fail; otherwise, when he thought of what he had done, he might have been in despair like Judas. (Luke 22:32.) —4. Peter needed to be turned from trust in himself to trust in Christ; for when Jesus said, "I have prayed for thee," he still replied, "Lord, I am ready to go with Thee, both into prison, and to death." (Luke 22:33.).—6. The apostles Peter and John. (Luke 22:8.) "With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer." (Luke 22:15)— 6. Because Peter had been more confident than the rest that he loved his Master enough to do or suffer anything for His sake.—7 “Put up again thy sword into his place; for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to My. Father, and He shall presently give Me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?" (Matt. 26:52-54.) "Suffer ye thus far" (Luke 22:51), and "The cup which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it?" (John 18:11).—8. “The Lord turned, and looked upon Peter." (Luke 22:61.)—9. The apostle Peter. The angel said to the women, who were early at the sepulcher, "He is risen... tell His disciples and Peter that He goeth before you into Galilee." (Mark 16:6, 7.)—10. No. It seems that Peter must have been alone when he first met his Master after His resurrection.
