(a) In what ways are we sometimes like Peter (Luke 22:54-62), denying Jesus rather than acknowledging him? What can we do when that happens?

(b) Why do you think that Luke describes the events surrounding Jesus’ death in such detail?

(c) Looking through this passage as a whole, what aspects of Jesus death are ‘ordinary’ (similar to other deaths), and what aspects are ‘extraordinary’ (unlike other deaths)? What (again trying to pick up clues from this passage) makes Jesus’ death significant for us today?
