✨ Prophecy Fulfilled: The Life of Yeshua (Jesus) – Episode 58 “Before the Rooster Crows” While Yeshua stood inside under accusation, Peter stood outside warming his hands by a fire. The contrast could not be sharper. ⸻ 🔥 The Courtyard Peter had followed at a distance. Not fleeing outright. Not standing boldly either. Just close enough to see. Far enough to feel safe. The night was cold. A charcoal fire burned in the courtyard of the high priest, and Peter stood among guards and servants—trying to blend in. Trying to disappear. ⸻ 🗣️ The First Question A servant girl looked at him closely. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.” Peter answered quickly: “I do not know what you mean.” A small denial. A reflex. He moved away from the fire, hoping the moment would pass. ⸻ 🗣️ The Second Question Another voice recognized him. “This man was with Him.” Peter denied it again—this time with an oath: “I do not know the Man.” The words cut deeper now. He wasn’t just denying association. He was denying relationship. ⸻ 🗣️ The Third Question An hour passed. Then others pressed in: “Surely you are one of them, for your accent gives you away.” John adds a detail that sharpens the moment further: one of them was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off in the garden. There was no escape. Peter began to curse and swear: “I do not know the Man!” And immediately— 🐓 The Rooster Crowed Just as Yeshua had said. Not once. Not twice. But exactly as spoken. Luke tells us something the others do not. At that moment, Yeshua turned and looked at Peter. No words. No anger. No accusation. Just truth. Peter remembered. And the weight of it broke him. 💔 The Weeping Peter went out and wept bitterly. This was not regret over consequences. This was grief over love denied. He had sworn loyalty. He had drawn a sword. He had promised never to fall. And yet fear found him anyway. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Bible #God #Jesus #BibleStudy #Help #Love
