ما معنى هذا؟
In this verse from Luke's Gospel, Peter denies knowing Jesus during his trial. The rooster crows right as he speaks, fulfilling a prediction Jesus made earlier. This shows how fear can lead us to deny what we know is true.
شرح للأطفال
Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek with your best friend. When someone asks if you've seen them hiding, you say no because you're scared of getting in trouble. Just like that, Peter says he doesn't know Jesus when asked, but a rooster's crow reminds him of his promise to stay loyal.
السياق التاريخي
The Gospel of Luke was written by Luke, a companion of Paul, around 60-85 AD for a wider audience including Gentiles. This event took place in Jerusalem during the night before Jesus' crucifixion, highlighting cultural practices such as roosters crowing at dawn.
