But Peter insisted emphatically, even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you. And all the others said the same — the insistence is emphatic (ekperissōs, more vehemently). The all the others said the same communicates that Peter's boldness is shared by the whole company — none of them expects to fail. The unanimous commitment will produce a unanimous abandonment within hours.
