But Peter said, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never say I don't know you.” All the others said the same thing.

Thomas said, “Lord, we don't even know where you are going! How can we know the way?”

“Teacher,” they said, “the people there want to stone you to death! Why do you want to go back?”
