Matthew 26:72

And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

Ver. 72. And again he denied with an oath] This was fearful; and the worse, because his Master, whom he forswore, was now (even as Peter's faith was) upon his trial, and might say, with wounded Caesar, What, thou, my son Brutus! Is this thy kindness to thy friend? Scipio had rather that Hannibal should eat his heart with salt than that Lelius do him the least discourtesy.
