Jesus turning to his disciples is man turning to his disciplined mind in self-contemplation.

The most important question asked in the Bible will be found in the 16th chapter of the Gospel of St. Matthew.

this faithfulness that cannot turn to anyone, that cannot be flattered when you are told by men you are John come again

But in Matthew 26, Jesus calls him, “Friend” and then he said, “What you have to do, do quickly.” He did not call the others friend. He called Peter, “Satan”, but to Judas he said, “Betray me!”

“Get behind me, Satan: You are a hindrance to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men.”
