Simon Peter and the Captain of the Ship
"I'm not going to lose any way to the night," says Jesus of Nazareth. "This is a captain making sure everyone else gets on the life raft, knowing full well there won't be room enough for him" Peter's all dibs on one of two swords he had with him when they were confronted by an army in the Garden of Gethsemane. He uses himself as a human shield and says, take me and let these go. It's interesting because Peter in some ways, I think, is felt at least fully justified in what he's doing.
