Jesus is hanging upon the cross during his crucifixion and he calls to Peter. Peter tries to approach and the Roman guards prevent him violently, beating on him with the hilt of their swords and shields. Severely beaten and bruised, Peter stops struggling and backs away.
Jesus calls to him again, "Peter, come quickly!"
Peter cries, "I'm coming Lord!" He throws himself at the guards once again. This time, the guards beat him with a whip, tearing his flesh. In the middle of the struggle, one guard hits him with the handle of a spear, breaking Peter's arm. Bloodied and in pain, Peter retreats.
Again Jesus calls to Peter, "Peter, please come quickly!" Peter yells, "Coming Lord!" Mustering up all the strength he has, he throws himself at the guards again, putting up a vicious struggle but not retaliating against the guards. Finally they decide he's had enough and consent to let him pass.
So Peter, severely beaten, whipped, bloody and with a broken arm, stumbles and makes his way to the foot of Jesus. He wearily kneels and says "I am here Lord. What is it that you require of your humble servant?"
Jesus says, "Peter, I can see your house from here!"
Jesus calls to him again, "Peter, come quickly!"
