“Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
26:31-35 Improper self-confidence, like that of Peter, is the first step to a fall. There is a proneness in all of us to be over-confident. But those fall soonest and foulest, who are the most confident in themselves. Those are least safe, who think themselves most secure. Satan is active to lead such astray; they are most off their guard: God leaves them to themselves, to humble them.
“And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.”
