Context of Matthew 26:35

33Peter said to him, “Even if everyone else abandons you, I never will.” 34Jesus replied to Peter, “I can guarantee this truth: Before a rooster crows tonight, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” Peter told him, “Even if I have to die with you, I’ll never say that I don’t know you!” All the other disciples said the same thing. 36Then Jesus went with the disciples to a place called Gethsemane. He said to them, “Stay here while I go over there and pray.” 37He took Peter and Zebedee’s two sons with him. He was beginning to feel deep anguish.

Commentaries on Matthew 26:35

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 35Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee - He does not take the warning which his Lord gave him - he trusts in the warm, sincere attachment to Christ which he now feels, not considering that this must speedily fail, unless supported by the power of God.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 31-35Verses 31-35 Jesus foretells the fall of Peter - This is also recorded in Mark 14:27-31; Luke 22:31-34; John 13:34-38. Matthew 26:31 Then saith Jesus unto them - The occasion of his saying this was Peter‘s bold affirmation that he was ready to die with him, John 13:36 Jesus had told them that he was going away - that is, was about to die. Peter asked him whither he was going. Jesus replied that he could not follow him then, but should afterward. Peter…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 31-35Verses 31-35 Improper self-confidence, like that of Peter, is the first step to a fall. There is a proneness in all of us to be over-confident.

Satan is active to lead such astray; they are most off their guard: God leaves them to themselves, to humble them.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 35Peter’s denial is the most well-known. But all the other disciples also left Jesus or avoided being connected with him (see 26:56).Read the comment
