Caiaphas lived a
comfortable and happy life while Peter’s life was full of sorrow and trial;
which of these two is the more enviable? Assuredly we should choose the present
state of Peter, for he possesses immortal life whilst Caiaphas has won eternal
shame. The trials of Peter tested his fidelity.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha,
October 27, 1911, Paris; ‘Paris Talks’)
