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 She saw Peter warming himself at the fire and looked closely at him. Then she said, "You also were with Jesus, that man from Nazareth."

68 But Peter said that he was never with Jesus. He said, "I don't know or understand what you are talking about." Then Peter left and went toward the entrance of the courtyard. And the rooster crowed.

69 The servant girl saw Peter there, and again she said to the people who were standing nearby, "This man is one of those who followed Jesus."

70 Again Peter said that it was not true. A short time later, some people were standing near Peter saying, "Surely you are one of those who followed Jesus, because you are from Galilee, too."

71 Then Peter began to place a curse on himself and swear, "I don't know this man you're talking about!"
