Peter could not utterly abandon his arrested Lord, after he initially ran away. He failed to keep his promise of not forsaking Christ but fled after he was restrained by Him; leaving him at a loss as to his role. Three times he was asked to admit he followed Jesus but denies each. Realizing his failure, he burst into tears.

Jesus was arrested without charge and shuffled before six of trials. Determined to kill Him, they paraded many incredible witnesses through the court, but Christ would have truth be the charge, so He admitted that He was the Messiah and for this truth they immediately condemned to death, beat, and mocked Him.

After intense prayer, it was time to face the coming darkness head on. The betrayer arrived with troops; there was no way out for Jesus, as planned from eternity past He permitted His arrest. All the disciples fled.
