Peter denied Jesus because he was afraid if the crowd, who wanted to kill Jesus, knew he was one of Jesus' disciples. They would want to kill him as well. Overall, he was afraid of prison and death.

Peter denied Jesus three times because he was afraid of being associated with him and facing potential persecution himself. Despite his loyalty and love for Jesus, fear and self-preservation ultimately drove him to deny knowing him.

What would peter say to Jesus?

It would depend upon your question. In the Book of Mark, Chapter 8, when Jesus says to His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" Peter answers, "Thou art the Christ" (Mark 8:29). When Peter said to Jesus, "I shall never deny you Master." Jesus, told Peter, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times." This was during the Last Supper. Before the cock crowed twice, on the day of the Crucifixion, Peter denied three times that he knew Jesus. Peter later wept in repentance (Mark 14:72).
