Peter, from the very beginning, wanted to show how much he loved Him. His master, this incredible man he was following, deserved all his love. Peter watched as he performed miracles, spoke truth into people's lives and lived a life of unconditional love. He wanted to do the same. So when his master said he would deny Him three times, he had to show him that He would never to do that. Maybe it was partly pride or maybe it was just because he wanted to prove to Him that He could love as He did.
