The Slippery Slope of Sin
Commentators observe that Peter's sin was not a single act but a rapid escalation. One lie led to another, more forceful denial. John Gill suggests Peter's fear was intensified by the potential legal penalty for cutting off Malchus's ear, causing him to swear and curse. This illustrates how a single compromise can quickly spiral into deeper sin.
