Mark 14:69 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:69

And a maid saw him again
Either the same maid, so the Syriac and Persic versions read, "that maid": that selfsame maid, as before, or another, as in ( Matthew 26:71 ) , and so the Arabic version reads it here; but the Ethiopic as before "a daughter"; that is, of the high priest:

and began to say to them that stood by;
the fire, along with Peter, warming themselves:

this is one of them;
this man is one of the disciples and followers of Jesus of Nazareth; he is of that sect, he certainly belongs to them, and is come here only as a spy.

Mark 14:69 In-Context

67 and seeing Kefa warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Natzri, Yeshua!"

68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know, nor understand what you are saying." He went out into the porch, and the cock crowed.

69 The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, "This is one of them."

70 But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Kefa, "You truly are one of them, for you are from the Galil, and your speech shows it."

71 But he began to curse, and to swear, "I don't know this man of whom you speak!"
