Plot edit
A young man soon facing the death sentence for his Christian faith shares his fears with Peter. Peter faces the same fate and tells the man about his own fear that he felt after Jesus was arrested in the garden of Gethsemane, when he had to deny his knowing of Jesus for three times. However, Jesus still told Peter that he would be the rock on which the Church would be built.
