What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
Expressing vain fervor, all the other disciples as well, like Peter, made promises not to forsake the Lord, as if thereby turning into a lie the word of Self-Existent Truth. Therefore the Lord also permits it, and human nature reveals its own weakness. For there is no doubt that the Lord could have preserved them, especially Peter; yet He permitted it, so that they, and we as well, would not be self-reliant.
Western Saints
Bede
The faith of the Apostle Peter, and his burning love for our Lord, is shown in what follows. For it goes on: But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise.
