Mark 14:68 “But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” And he went out on the porch, and a rooster crowed.”
Not only does he deny knowing Jesus personally, he is here denying that he even knew who Jesus was at all. Obviously, this is senseless. But, we do senseless things when we are afraid. This servant girl and those around the area probably suspected more as a result of this response.
Heavenly Father, may we always trust in you to keep us safe, rather than looking to ourselves. You can keep us from evil in your perfect plan. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
