Easy to say…

Then Jesus said to them, ‘You will all become deserters because of me this night; for it is written,

“I will stride the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.”

But after I am raised up, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.’  Peter said to him, ‘Though all become deserters because of you, I will never desert you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Truly I tell you, this very night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.’ Peter said to him, ‘Even though I must die with you, I will not deny you.’ And so said all the disciples. (Matthew 26: 31 – 35)

Be careful what you say;  your words will find you out.  Peter was full of good intentions but,  as Jesus will say to them all,  ‘the spirit indeed is willing,  but the flesh is weak’. (Matthew 26: 41)
