@Kini.toloa,
On verse 70- fear is the first reason why most people lie, but I am not so sure that fear was the main motivating factor for Peter.
1. Peter is the one who drew his sword and cut off the servant�s ear in Gethsemane ( John 18:10);
2. Peter and the other apostles did not really understand Jesus as saviour, but was trying to assist Jesus in bringing in the kingdom of heaven where he will be king;
3. They did not comprehend the kingdom of God (church age), 1 Peter 1:10-12;
4. So when Jesus was arrested all the apostles abandoned him, except John (type of the church) and went back to fishing;
5. The reason I believe Peter denied Jesus when approached, was shame and confusion on what was really happening, but Jesus was able to help get Peter back on track in John 21:15-17, Romans 1:16.
