“Simon Peter said to him, ‘Lord, where are you going?’ Jesus answered him, ‘Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterward.’”
There’s a haunting loneliness in this passage, especially on Peter’s part. And I think it’s a mistake to not hear an ache in his heart here. His response was one of fear, the fear of being faced with losing a person you love and rely on, one around whom your whole life revolves.
