John13:37
37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now ? I will lay down my life for thy sake .
Still Peter doth not understand our Saviour, but fancieth some Earthly motion from the place where he was; but it should seem by what followeth, that he thought our Saviour spake of some motion which might be very dangerous to him.
And therefore he adds, according to his usual courage and mettal, expressed on all occasions, I will lay down my life for thy sake; we had such a resolution of his Matth. 26.33, 35.
