Luke 22:57

57 at ille negavit eum dicens mulier non novi illum

Luke 22:57 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:57

And he denied him, saying, woman, I know him not.
] Startled at the maid's positive assertion, and knowing not how to clear himself any other way, roundly, and at once, denied that Jesus was his master; or that he was a disciple of his; or that he knew any thing of him, or had any acquaintance with him: and thus he that had said he would die with him, rather than deny him, is frighten at a servant maid, and denies him upon the first attack upon him.
