Neville Goddard on Luke 22:57-60 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 22 in context

Scripture Focus

57And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

58And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

59And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.

60And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

Luke 22:57-60

Biblical Context

Peter denies Jesus three times; each denial deepens the sense of separation from truth, and the rooster's crow marks the moment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 22:57-60 reveals the inner theater of fear masquerading as certainty. In Neville’s view, the man Peter is not a distant disciple but the I AM that trembles at losing its alignment with its divine nature. The first denial arises as a tremor of doubt: 'I do not know him.' The second moment comes when others mistake you for a follower, and you repeat, 'I am not.' The final affirmation—'Of a truth this fellow also was with him'—cracks the outer mask as a rooster crow sounds the inner alarm. What you witness is not a moral failure, but the clash of inner states within consciousness. Each denial is a mental posture: I am separate, I am defined by appearances, I am not enough. If you would rest in truth, revise those moves by assuming the one constant state: I AM. See the scene as a reminder that your inner faithfulness is a deliberate choice, a revision of self until you feel the certainty that you and the Christ within are one. Denial dissolves as inner unity returns.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, assume the state 'I AM with Him,' and feel it real that you are faithful and united with the Christ within. Let the rooster’s crow become a symbol that the old denial ends as you awaken to inner unity.
