What made Peter so afraid to be identified with Jesus? Why are many people today still afraid to identify with Jesus?
Peter was witnessing the impeding torture and percecution of Christ. He was therefor afraid for his own life. A lot of people are still to identify with Jesus because those who do tend to be put under scrutiny and people wait for you to trip up and then judge you quite harshly. To be constantly under the sportlight is frightening.But really there is nothing to be afraid of. Ones faith aught to be able to help that person cope with anything thrown at them.

Peter Disowns Jesus

Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, "You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!"
But he denied it before them all, saying, "I don't know what you are talking about."
When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, "This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth."
Again he denied it with an oath, "I don't know the man."
After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known."
Then he began to curse and to swear, "I don't know the man!"
Immediately the rooster crowed. Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went out and wept bitterly.
