Commentaries on Matthew 26:75
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 75Peter remembered the word of Jesus - St. Luke says, Luke 22:61, The Lord turned and looked upon Peter.

Bad company leads to sin: those who needlessly thrust themselves into it, may expect to be tempted and insnared, as Peter. They scarcely can come out of such company without guilt or grief, or both. It is a great fault to be shy of Christ; and to dissemble our knowledge of him, when we are called to own him, is, in effect, to deny him. Peter's sin was aggravated; but he fell…Read the comment
