"But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about!” At that moment, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed."(Luke 22:60)
There are times that I actually feel sorry for Peter. I can only imagine how hard he tried to get out of the jam he found himself in. Three times he denies Jesus, and his denials get stronger each time, as the heat of the moment keeps getting hotter.
I don't know what you're talking about, denial of knowledge is sometimes real. Somebody may say something to you that you really don't know what they are talking about. But it is just as possible that this is a stall or a deflection, hoping that the knowledge you do have won't come to light.
But eventually the cock does crow and we wind up being confronted by a worse reality.
Blessings,
Ed
