Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 26:32-33

"But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee. But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended." — Matthew 26:32-33 (ASV)

But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

Peter answered and said to him, Though all men shall be offended because of you, yet will I never be offended.

No doubt Peter said this from his heart, but the heart is deceitful above all things. Peter may have thought that he was stronger than his brothers, yet he was the very one who proved to be the weakest of the whole apostolic band. Though all men shall be offended because of you, yet will I never be offended.
