| Peter “denied Him” (Luke 22:57). Judas betrayed Him, as it had been prophesied, “Yea, Mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of My bread, hath lifted up his heel against Me” (Psalm 41:9). The gospel writers record that “all the disciples forsook Him, and fled” (Matthew 26:56). Others who followed Him stood “afar off” (Matt. 27:55). Looking ahead to this scene, the psalmist prophesied, “I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none” (Psalm 69:20). Our Savior, the Man of Sorrows went to the cross alone. This is described in the most touching language by the Psalmist who also wrote, “I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top” (Psalm 102:7). |
