夫予之蒙恥而受辱兮。非為主之故乎。

But in front of all of them, Peter said he was not.“ I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.Then he went out to the gate leading into the courtyard. There another servant saw him. She said to the people,“ This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”Again he said he was not. With a curse he said,“ I don’t know the man!”After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter.“ You must be one of them,” they said.“ The way you talk gives you away.”Then Peter began to curse and said to them,“ I don’t know the man!” Right away a rooster crowed.

He came to what was his own. But his own people did not accept him.

David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking with the men. So Eliab became very angry with him. Eliab asked David,“ Why have you come down here? Who is taking care of those few sheep in the desert for you? I know how proud you are. I know how evil your heart is. The only reason you came down here was to watch the battle.”

“ God has caused my family to desert me. The people I used to know are now strangers to me.My relatives have gone away. My closest friends have forgotten me.My guests and my female servants think of me as a stranger. They look at me as if I were an outsider.I send for my servant, but he doesn’t answer. He doesn’t come, even though I beg him to.My wife can’t stand the way my breath smells. My own family won’t have anything to do with me.Even little children mock me. When I appear, they make fun of me.All my close friends hate me. Those I love have turned against me.

Don’t trust your neighbors. Don’t put your faith in your friends. Be careful what you say even to your own wife.Sons don’t honor their fathers. Daughters refuse to obey their mothers. Daughters- in- law are against their mothers- in- law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own family.

“ Brothers will hand over brothers to be killed. Fathers will hand over their children. Children will rise up against their parents and have them put to death.You will be hated by everyone because of me. But anyone who remains strong in the faith will be saved.

People looked down on him. They didn’t accept him. He knew all about pain and suffering. He was like someone people turn their faces away from. We looked down on him. We didn’t have any respect for him.

I have come to turn“‘ sons against their fathers. Daughters will refuse to obey their mothers. Daughters- in- law will be against their mothers- in- law.A man’s enemies will be the members of his own family.’( Micah 7:6)

Judas, who was going to hand Jesus over, had arranged a signal with them.“ The one I kiss is the man,” he said.“ Arrest him.”So Judas went to Jesus at once. He said,“ Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed him.Jesus replied,“ Friend, do what you came to do.” Then the men stepped forward. They grabbed Jesus and arrested him.
