John Trapp on Matthew 26:35

Verse 35. Though I should die with thee] Quot verba tot absurda, as one saith of Peters proposition of three tabernacles, &c. Sure it is he knew as little what he said here, as there: How much more considerately those Martyrs, who both said it, and did it? The heavens shall as soon fall, as I will forsake my faith, Act. and Mon. fol. 1430 said William Flower. And, if every hair of my head were a man, Ibid. 1438. I would suffer death in the opinion and faith, that I am now in, said John Ardely. Likewise also said all the Disciples] Misled, as Barnabas afterward was (Gal. 2.) by Peters example. The leaders of this people cause them to erre, Isa. 9. 16. Our Saviour (to teach us what to do in like case) striveth not with them for the last word: but lets them enjoy their own over-good conceits of themselves, till time should confute them.
