儿童解释

Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek with your friends. You're hiding behind a tree when someone asks if you're there. To stay hidden, you say 'No,' even though they saw you. That's what Peter did; he said no so people wouldn't know he was Jesus' friend.

历史背景

The Gospel of Luke was written by Luke, a physician and companion of Paul around the year AD 80-100. This event is part of the Passion narrative where disciples flee or deny knowing Jesus to avoid persecution.
