Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
Peter jumped in and said, 'Even if everyone else abandons you, I never will. I'm different.'
Peter was confident he'd never let Jesus down, but sometimes we don't know ourselves as well as we think we do.
