Luke 22:61

"The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, 'Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.'"

Luke 22:61 (NASB)

The word "looked" means Jesus looked at Peter with compassion because He knew even with the right desires and intentions, Peter would fail often. Jesus also knew His sacrifice on the cross would remove all of his failures (and all of ours) as far as the east is from the west. (Psalm 103:12, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.")
