Years later, Peter wrote: “Christ suffered for you, leaving you a model for you to follow his steps closely.... When he was being reviled, he did not go reviling in return. When he was suffering, he did not go threatening, but kept on committing himself to the one who judges righteously. ”
Daudzus gadus vēlāk Pēteris rakstīja: ” Kristus ir cietis jūsu labā, jums atstādams priekšzīmi, lai jūs sekotu viņa pēdām... viņš zaimots neatbildēja ar zaimiem, ciezdams nedraudēja, bet atstāja visu tam, kas spriež taisnu tiesu. ”
