Luke 22:60 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:60

And Peter said, man, I know not what thou sayest
Suggesting, that he was so far from being a follower of Jesus, or a disciple of his, and from having any personal acquaintance with him, that he did not know what he was talking of, or at least could not understand what he meant by this harangue, or by talking after this manner about him; and then began to curse and swear, and wish the most dreadful things to befall him, if he knew any thing of Jesus of Nazareth: and immediately while he yet spake:
in this shocking manner, with his mouth full of oaths, curses, and imprecations: the cock crew;
the second time, ( Mark 14:72 ) .

Luke 22:60 In-Context

58 Shortly afterwards a man saw him and said, "You, too, are one of them." "No, man, I am not," said Peter.

59 After an interval of about an hour some one else stoutly maintained: "Certainly this fellow also was with him, for in fact he is a Galilaean."

60 "Man, I don't know what you mean," replied Peter. No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed.

61 The Master turned and looked on Peter; and Peter recollected the Master's words, how He had said to him, "This very day, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times."

62 And he went out and wept aloud bitterly.
