Matthew 26: 31-35 (MSG) Denial

"Then Jesus told them, Before the night’s over, you’re going to fall to pieces
because of what happens to me. There is a Scripture that says, I’ll strike the shepherd; dazed and confused, the sheep will be scattered. But after I am raised up, I, your Shepherd, will go ahead of you, leading the way to Galilee. Peter broke in, Even if everyone else falls to pieces on account of you, I won’t. Don’t be so sure, Jesus said. “This very night, before the rooster crows up the dawn, you will deny me three times.
Peter protested, Even if I had to die with you, I would never deny you. All the others said the same thing".

As Christians how many times have we denied Jesus by not speaking up when non believers scoff at the Lord, or decry the faith we proclaim, when in our comfort bubble?
