Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!"Peter had made a common error among believers, and non-believers also. He started worrying about what would happen to him compared to everyone else. He may even have been a little jealous of another's relationship with Jesus compared to his own.
One of the sayings I've tried to base my life on is that I can't control anyone else's actions, only my own; I can't make someone else do the right thing, I can only do the right thing myself and let the rest happen however it will. I know I don't live up to that as often as I should, especially in spiritual matters, but it's a lesson I need to constantly be reminding myself of.
