Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 22:33

"And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death." — Luke 22:33 (ASV)

And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you, both into prison, and to death.

That is bravely spoken, Peter; and yet it is very foolishly said, too. He spoke out of his very heart, and he meant what he said; but Peter did not know what a poor weak body Peter really was. His Master understood him far better.

And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

And I have no doubt that he thought he was ready to do all this; he spoke out of the fullness of his heart, but he did not know the weakness of his flesh. We are all too apt to promise great things, and to fail in the fulfillment of them.
