“¡Aun si tengo que morir contigo, nunca te negaré!” insistió Pedro. Y todos los discípulos dijeron lo mismo.

¿Qué significa esto?

In this verse, Peter promises Jesus that he will never deny him, even if it means dying with him. The other disciples make the same promise. This shows their strong commitment and loyalty at that moment.

Explicado para niños

Imagine you and your best friend are playing a game where someone challenges you to give up your toy or pretend you don't know each other. Peter is saying he would rather give up his favorite toy than say he doesn’t know Jesus, and all the disciples agree.

Contexto histórico

This verse was written by Matthew, likely between AD 80-90, for a predominantly Jewish-Christian audience. The cultural setting reflects the tensions between loyalty to Jesus and societal pressures in first-century Palestine.
