Peter said unto him
Not understanding Christ's answer, and being dissatisfied with
it, inquires:
Lord, why cannot I follow thee now?
is the place inaccessible? are the difficulties in the way to it
insuperable? the roughness of the road, or the dangers of it,
will not discourage me; I am ready to go through the greatest
dangers and difficulties, to follow thee: yea,
I will lay down my life for thy sake;
whatever enemies I should meet with in, following thee, would not
dismay me; I would readily hazard my life, and cheerfully lay it
down in defence of thee.
