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 when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him and said, "And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth."

68 But he denied it, saying, "I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest." And he went out into the porch, and the cock crowed.

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

70 And he denied it again. And a little after, those who stood by said again to Peter, "Surely thou art one of them, for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech agreeth thereto."

71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, "I know not this man of whom ye speak!"
