"Tell His disciples and Peter," the angels said. Since the death of Christ, Peter had been bowed down with remorse. His shameful denial of the Lord, and the Saviour's look of love and anguish, were ever before him. Of all the disciples he had suffered most bitterly. To him the assurance is given that his repentance is accepted and his sin forgiven. He is mentioned by name.

Sig til hans disciple og til Peter, sagde englene. Siden Kristi død havde Peter været nedbøjet af samvittighedsnag. Hans skammelige fornægtelse af Herren og Frelserens kærlige og smertefulde udtryk veg ikke fra hans tanker. Han var den, der havde lidt den bitreste smerte af alle disciplene. Til ham gives denne forsikring, at hans anger er blevet antaget og hans synd tilgivet.
