Peter protested, “Even if I had to die with you, I would never deny you.” All the others said the same thing.
Peter said, “Master, I’m ready for anything with you. I’d go to jail for you. I’d die for you!”
They said, “Rabbi, you can’t do that. The Jews are out to kill you, and you’re going back?”
“Master,” said Peter, “why can’t I follow now? I’ll lay down my life for you!”
Thomas said, “Master, we have no idea where you’re going. How do you expect us to know the road?”
