อธิบายสำหรับเด็ก
Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek and you see your friend about to be found. But instead of helping them, you pretend like they're not even there. That's kind of what happened here: when people asked Peter if he was with Jesus, he said no, even though he really was.

In modern times, this can be seen when someone faces peer pressure at school or work to deny their beliefs. For instance, if a student is pressured not to admit they're part of a specific religious group, they might lie and say they aren't, just as Peter did out of fear.
